Matcha Olive Oil Cake
- Cake
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/3 cups extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 tablespoons matcha
- 1/4 cup green tea
- White chocolate glaze
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prep a 9-inch cake pan by buttering and lightly flouring, then lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- If you're like me, you only have one big bowl and assorted smaller ones. In a smaller one, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and matcha. If you want a stronger matcha flavor, you can double the amount of matcha.
- In your big bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: extra virgin olive oil (the higher quality the better), milk, eggs, and tea.
- Add the dry ingredient mixture and whisk together until just combined.
- Bake for around one hour (mine took around 1 hour, 15 minutes) until the middle is set and the top is golden brown. Let it cool for around two hours.
- In the meantime, make Erin McDowell's white chocolate glaze. Bring the heavy cream to a boil, then pour over the white chocolate chips. Wait 30 seconds, then stir until smooth. Let the mixture cool for 15-20 minutes before glazing the cake.
- Eat!
