Matcha yogurt cake

This delicious matcha cake is nice and moist thanks to the lovely yogurt. It is finished with a frosting.

Ingredients:

For the cake

• 100 g coconut fat
• 175 g white granulated sugar
• 175 g full-fat yogurt
• 200 g flour
• 3 eggs
• pinch of salt
• 2 tsp matcha
• 1 tsp baking powder

For the frosting

• 2 tablespoons honey
• 100 g full-fat yogurt
• 1 tsp matcha

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 160°C.
• Melt the coconut fat.
• Add the sugar and the matcha and mix everything well.
• Alternately add part of the flour and the eggs, and mix into a smooth batter.
• Add the yogurt, baking powder, and salt.
• Mix everything thoroughly into a smooth batter.
• Pour the batter into a cake tin and place in the oven for 30-40 minutes.
• Remove the cake from the oven once it is baked through. You can test this by inserting a skewer. If no dough clings to the skewer, it is done.
• Let the cake cool.
• Now make the frosting. Mix the yogurt, honey, and matcha together. Ensure the matcha is completely dissolved in the frosting.
• Spread the frosting over the cooled cake.
• Optionally decorate with dried orange, as shown in the photo.

Enjoy!
