Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons matcha powder
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup caramel sauce

How to Make Matcha Caramel Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Once baked, let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cakes cool, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  10. Once the cakes are cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of caramel sauce on top, followed by a generous layer of whipped cream.
  11. Place the second cake layer on top and repeat the process. Drizzle additional caramel sauce on top and garnish with extra whipped cream if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier creaming.
  • Use high-quality matcha for the best flavor and color.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; mix just until combined for a light texture.
  • Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.

Easy Variations

  • For a chocolate twist, add cocoa powder to the batter for a matcha-chocolate layer cake.
  • Substitute the caramel sauce with a chocolate ganache for a different flavor profile.
  • Add chopped nuts or toasted coconut in between the layers for added texture.

What to Serve With It

  • A side of fresh berries for a tart contrast.
  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
  • A cup of green tea to enhance the matcha flavor.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, serve at room temperature. If you need to reheat, place a slice in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until just warmed.
