[...] maandag 10 november 2008 in De proeftuin | Tags: baking, cake, cherry pie, film, food, matcha, thee, twin peaks Eindelijk heb ik mijn eerste matcha-experiment uitgevoerd! Ik wilde al heel lang iets bakken met deze groene poederthee (die eigenlijk is bedoeld voor Japanse theeceremonies), maar eerst moest ik het ergens zien te scoren en daarna een goede gelegenheid vinden om ermee aan de slag te gaan. Die deed zich voor bij onze laatste Twin Peaks Marathon sessie! Voor onze eerste bijeenkomst van 2 jaar geleden experimenteerden we met de originele Twin Peaks Cherry Pie waarvoor we Crisco nodig hadden en speciale zure kersen, zodat dit een toepasselijk moment leek voor een cake met bittere groene thee en zoete witte chocolade. Loopt het water u al in de mond? De foto bewijst dat het bakexperiment lukte en neem maar van mij aan dat-ie ook lekker was Dank dus aan La Tartine Gourmande voor het recept. [...]

This looks amazing! I am obsessed with baking with matcha right now, and I need to make this! But I don’t have a a weight; do you know how many cups of flour I need to make this? thanks!

Hi Béa,

What a beautiful website that you have. I found this lovely recipe while I was searing for marble pound cakes to make for an upcoming cookie exchange. I have a toy train cake pan from Williams-Sonoma that I am going to try with this recipe. I was also thinking of swirling in raspberry to make a white chocolate, matcha and raspberry pound cake. When the cakes come out of the pan they will reflect the appearance of the swirl, as the cake will have browned on the bottom as opposed to the top. Do you have any suggestions for how to prepare a raspberry type of filling or shall I use jelly? Thank you so much.

Hi Béa,

Thank you so much for this recipe! I’ve been dying to do some baking with matcha powder and your recipe was the first I tried when I went to a last viewing session of a Twin Peaks Marathon. The experiment succeeded very well indeed! I posted about it in my blog (which is unfortunately in Dutch), and linked to your site.

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.
