The matcha tea and yogurt cake is a sweet preparation with a soft texture and a particular color that can vary from dark green to light.

Matcha tea is a special type of tea that contains antioxidant properties.

Its taste pairs wonderfully with the aroma of lemon, of which I used the zest and juice.

If you love tea and citrus fruits, you must try this cake because it is not only delicious but also rich in beneficial properties.

First, dissolve the tea powder in the hot water.

Beat these ingredients until they become light and frothy.
Add the prepared green tea and the plain yogurt.
Also pour in the oil and mix with the whisk at low speed.
Add the sifted flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Finally, add the grated zest and the squeezed juice of one lemon.
Using a spatula, gently combine everything from bottom to top to obtain a smooth and lump-free batter.
Butter and flour a pan. Mine measures 9 inches.
Pour in the batter and level it.
Bake the cake in a preheated static oven at 356 degrees Fahrenheit for about 35/40 minutes.
Always adjust according to your oven’s power and before turning it off, do the toothpick test.
If you like, decorate the surface of the cake with powdered sugar.

The matcha tea and yogurt cake keeps at room temperature under a glass dome or those bags where panettone is bought.
