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.
