Ingredients:

For the Matcha Ladyfingers:

  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

For the Mascarpone Mixture:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Whipped Cream:

  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream

Instructions:

  1. Make the Matcha Ladyfingers: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they become light and fluffy. Add the granulated sugar gradually, beating continuously.
  4. Fold in the flour mixture to create a smooth batter.
  5. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the ladyfingers are firm to the touch and lightly golden brown.
  7. Make the Mascarpone Mixture: Beat the mascarpone cheese, confectioners' sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.

Assembly:

  1. Dip each ladyfinger into the strong coffee for about 3-5 seconds on each side.
  2. Place a layer of ladyfingers in a large serving dish.
  3. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
  4. Repeat the layers, starting with the ladyfingers and topping with the remaining mascarpone mixture.

Serve:

  1. Dust the top of the cake with matcha powder.
  2. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  3. Top with whipped cream before serving.
