Matcha (Green Tea) Pound Cake image

I've been carrying this recipe around for so long that I have no idea where I found it. Note: Matcha is specially processed powdered green tea. You cannot substitute regular green tea that has been ground or crushed.

2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup unsalted butter, softened

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I would recommend using a lighter flour, such as cake flour, in the recipe.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. The matcha flavor was nice and the cake was very moist. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe by about 1/4 cup.
