Bea, I made this cake today with a friend (I brought the white chocolate and she brought the matcha!). It was absolutely delicious, though I watched it so carefully to make sure I didn’t overbake it and dry it out that I pulled it out of the oven prematurely. Even though the knife blade had come out clean, it was still a bit gooey in the middle. Fortunately it wasn’t for a special event and we have all still been slicing into it. I can’t wait to try it again! thanks for the recipe. you have a beautiful site.

Hi Debra, and Delia,

Thanks for your note. Let me ask you. Do you typically weigh your ingredients or use cups? I tend to think that with cups, the amounts vary, and are not as precise. If you can weigh, I would do that first. Also, one other way to look at it is also to add a little milk in the batter, like 1/4 cup milk. Let me know whether this helps. Good luck, and thanks a lot for your feedback. I will try the recipe again myself and let you know, I have not made the cake for a while to be able to remember well the texture.

Hi Bea-
I agree with Delia - I’ve made this twice and for some reason mine was a bit on the dry side also. I’ve tried cake flour and that helped just a little bit. Is it possible that I’m overmixing? How do you add the matcha green & white chocolate to the batters without overmixing? Thank you!

Hi Bea,
Thanks for such a wonderful recipe! I’ve made it for the CNY but maybe I’ve overbake it. It’s a bit on the dry side. Nevertheless, it’s still nice. Will be making it again.

[...] Monday, September 10th, 2007 in Cupcakes, Chocolate As per usual, with the packet of matcha powder, I raided the world wide web for some interesting recipes. I’m just exaggerating. I was just looking for a green tea chocolate cake-ish, and so I stumbled upon Bea’s La Tartine Gourmande. [...]
