Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3 large eggs
• ½ cup milk
• 2 tablespoons matcha powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Matcha Caramel Cake

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs and Milk: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the milk and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
5. Combine with Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Bake the Cake: Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool the Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. You can add a tablespoon of sugar if you prefer a sweeter topping.
9. Assemble the Cake: Once the cake is completely cooled, top it with the whipped cream, creating swirls as you go. Drizzle caramel sauce generously over the whipped cream.
10. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cake, serve, and enjoy the delightful combination of matcha and caramel!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
• Don’t overmix the batter; this could lead to a dense cake.
• Use high-quality matcha for the best flavor and vibrant color.
• Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.

Easy Variations

• Gluten-Free Option: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
• Vegan Version: Use a plant-based butter alternative and substitute eggs with flax eggs and milk with almond milk.
• Add Nuts: Incorporate chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts into the batter for added texture.
