Matcha and brown sugar marble pound cake

The unique sweetness and flavor of brown sugar combined with the aroma of matcha (Tenkuu) creates a soft and gentle pound cake. The texture of the walnuts added as an accent is also fun!

<Ingredients> ( 6.5cm x 14cm, height 4.5cm)

Brown sugar dough

  • 25g unsalted butter
  • 20g brown sugar
  • 30g eggs
  • 50g plain flour
  • 1g baking powder

Matcha dough

  • 25g unsalted butter
  • 20g powdered sugar
  • 30g eggs
  • 50g plain flour
  • 1g baking powder
  • 3g matcha
  • 10g walnuts
  • As much fresh cream as you like

<How to make>...The method of making both brown sugar and matcha is basically the same.

  1. Preheat the oven to 180℃. Place a baking sheet in the mold. Leave the butter and eggs at room temperature. (If the eggs are cold, the dough will separate easily.)
  2. Add sugar and mix until white.
  3. Add the eggs little by little in about 3 batches, mixing well each time. If the mixture separates, add a little flour and mix.
  4. Add the sifted powders and mix until just combined.
  5. Pour the matcha and brown sugar batter alternately into a piping bag. Cut the tip of the piping bag into a thick piece and squeeze the batter into the mold. Sprinkle chopped walnuts here and there.
  6. Reduce the temperature to 170℃ and bake for 20 minutes. If you insert a bamboo skewer and no raw batter comes out, it's done.
  7. Once cooled, wrap in plastic wrap.
  8. It's delicious as is, but it's also delicious served with whipped cream.
