Matcha Coconut Cake
Servings
Makes 8-10 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup matcha powder (green tea powder)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 8-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, eggs, lime juice, and vanilla extract.
Step 4: Add Coconut Flakes and Matcha Powder
Add the unsweetened coconut flakes and matcha powder to the wet ingredients. Whisk until well combined.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until just combined.
Step 6: Divide the Batter
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
Step 7: Bake the Cakes
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8: Assemble and Serve
Once the cakes are completely cool, you can assemble and serve them as desired (e.g., with whipped cream or coconut flakes on top).
Notes
- To ensure the best flavor, use high-quality matcha powder.
- You can adjust the amount of matcha powder to your liking, but keep in mind that it will give a stronger tea flavor.
- If you prefer a stronger coconut flavor, you can add more coconut flakes or even shredded coconut on top of the cake.
