  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter Softened
  • 0.75 cups granulated sugar Can substitute with brown sugar
  • 0.25 cups light brown sugar Adds flavor depth

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the loaf pan by greasing it with unsalted butter and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Sift together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using an electric mixer until pale and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gently incorporate the sifted dry ingredients with the creamed mixture by alternating with the whole milk.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Tap gently to remove air bubbles.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
