Here is a new recipe for a matcha green tea cake with white chocolate and almond powder. We had already made a first recipe of green tea cake very soft and this new version has less eggs and no fresh cream!
It’s a more gourmet recipe and more nuanced in taste, the white chocolate and almond powder blend very well with the matcha green tea.
