Matcha Layer Cake
I love matcha. In all my heart. I’d drink matcha latte long before it became a trend. Matcha adds so much character to desserts made with it. Exactly like this matcha layer cake presented here. Matcha is an acquired taste, therefore, if you’re not a big fan, I’d suggest to try it first as a latte. Don’t worry if you feel you need to increase the amount of sugar to compensate for the bitterness. The whole bite should perfectly balance the flavors. The lovely design of the “piped cavity” is created by using measuring teaspoon (1/4 tsp), dipped in hot water (and dried of course)- see process demonstration in video.
