Maccha Cake with Azuki Beans



Been wondering how to incorperate the maccha into standard cake recipes and here is the result. Still in smooth texture but it smells heavenly with green tea aroma. Maccha must be accompanied by its partner, the sweet azuki beans to be called complete. So I splashed some of the canned azuki beans inside my maccha cake :).


170 gr butter
150 gr sugar
3 eggs
130 gr cake flour
20 gr green tea powder
4 gr baking powder
2 gr vanilla essence
1/2 can azuki beans
  • Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy in high speed and add in vanilla
  • Reduce the speed to low and add the eggs until well incorporated
  • Still in low speed, add in all dry ingridients and resume to high speed untill the batter are well blended
  • Using 8' round baking tin, pour 1/2 of the batter and spread it evenly, with spoon, spread the azuki beans, and tope it off with the rest of the batter
  • Bake it for 30-45 min in 180C
  • Serving option: sprinkle the top with icing sugar
