Instructions
Matcha Cake
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9" square pan with parchment paper.
- Step 2
Soak two cake strips in ice water.
- Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Step 4
Cut up the butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until it resembles wet sand.
- Step 5
Add the oil, whole milk, and vanilla, and mix until just combined.
- Step 6
In a separate medium bowl, add the egg whites. Use an electric hand mixer to whip them until medium peaks form.
- Step 7
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter with a rubber spatula until just combined.
- Step 8
Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan. Wrap the cake strips around the outside of the pan.
- Step 9
Bake the cake for about 35 minutes or until the cakes start to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool for a few minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Whipped Mascarpone Frosting
- Step 10
In a medium bowl, add the mascarpone and sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat until smooth.
- Step 11
Pour in the heavy cream, and beat on medium speed until thick.
Assemble

Place the cake on a serving platter or cake stand, then top with the mascarpone frosting.
