Bundt Strikes Again....!

Yes, I was so bored so I thought.... "why not I tried this recipe that I kept for God knows how long...."

Green Tea & Lemon Marble Cake

I got this from a friend's collection. Not sure the source of this recipe though...

Since I lurvveeeee green tea to bits, I was excited when I came across this one and I gave it a try... after waited for so long because I'm still on a bz-bee mode now.

Anyway, the cake is not bad, just that the green tea taste is not that powerful (bcoz I'm a green-tea-freak!), maybe you want to add another 2 tbsp of matcha powder to the batter.

Try-lah!

Green and yellow batter, alternate them to make the marble effect

Oh yes, that's my new bundt pan.... I know, I know, it's nice... tq! :D

Matcha powder

Zest of 1 lemon and lemon juice

... all went into the batter...

Green Tea & Lemon Marble Cake

2 2/3 cups self raising flour, sifted

2 1/3 cups sugar (I used only 2 cups because I hate too-sweet cakes)

1 tsp vanilla essence

6 eggs

2/3 cup sour cream

zest of one lemon

Juice of half a lemon (I used 2 tbsp of the juice)

1 tbsp green tea a.k.a matcha powder

230gm butter, melted (I used salted butter)

Combine eggs and sugar, whisk the the mixture with mixer, mix thoroughly till incorporated. Add in the essence, add put in the sour cream. Continue mixing till combine. Fold in the melted butter. Using a large spatula, stir in the flour, in 2 or 3 additions; stir till combine.

Divide the batter in halves, add the lemon zest & juice in 1 batter and fold in the green tea powder in the other bowl.

Pour the batter alternately and bake for about 1-1.5 hrs. or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
