makes a 8 x 8″ cake | Recipe from misshangrypants adapted from allrecipes.com

Ingredients

• 6 tbsp white sugar (divided)
• 3 medium/small egg yolks
• 3 medium/small egg whites
• 2.5 tbsp almond milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp matcha powder
• 3 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
• 1/4 cup evaporated milk
• 1/4 cup almond milk
• 1 tbsp matcha powder
• heavy whipping cream

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Butter and flour bottom and sides of a 8×8″ pan
2. Beat egg yolks with 3 tbsp of sugar until fluffy. Mix in 2.5 tbsp milk, vanilla, flour, baking powder and matcha powder
3. In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites with the other 3 tbsp of sugar until soft peaks form. Fold egg whites into the batter carefully
4. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 mins or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean
5. Allow the cake to completely cool. Pour a ton of holes into it with a fork or toothpick. Mix together the condensed milk, evaporated milk, almond milk and matcha powder. Pour over the cake slowly until it is absorbed. Chill in the fridge overnight
6. You can whip about 1/2 cup of whipping cream and put an even layer on top before chilling. I just served the cake with dollops of whipped cream and strawberries
