I liked every blog photo I saw that involved Matcha powder..and my husband loves green tea..
I decided to try this recipe..found at Bakerella's out of this world blog..
I love her blog.. Her photos.. her delight in desserts and color and food and photos.
She is unique.
The recipe turned out just the way I thought..I may try zebra style next time:) w/ white chocolate instead of chocolate.
I do like the green and brown together:)
I used a half bundt cake mold..and made half the recipe..
Just right..Had I had some sour cream in the fridge I would have added a dollop!
I can't wait to experiment w/ Matcha in different recipes..Love trying new things!
Any ideas?
PS..A couple of years ago.. I happened upon a really nice young chef..
I even bought his book..
He is smart..talented.. funny.. a "STAR".. and NICE!
We've exchanged a few emails over the years and he has kindly kept me up to date on what he is doing..
Well he has a new food blog and it's beautiful!
The content is well written.. beautifully photographed..and if you start now.. at almost it's beginning..I am certain you will not be disappointed:)
You may recognize him:)
Have fun!
Looks great. Very colourful. I have been looking for matcha powder, but haven't found it yet!
ReplyDeleteI do like the green and brown together too! It must be healthy with the green tea powder ;) I am so curious about the taste.
ReplyDeleteTwo delightful sites you linked!
It definitely tastes like green tea!!
ReplyDeleteI found Matcha at Anatol..in Montréal.. a fabulous.. yet dated:) spice etc store..in Little Italy.. but I bet many health food stores would have it..:)
Have you tried Amazon Marie?
Good luck:)~
I can't wait to try the Pitas Susan:) Max's second birthday and christening today all rolled into one so it can't be today:) I need to make the Master again..all out!
PS Marie! I just quickly peeked at your first blog! I will be back! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI just ran across a recipe for Matcha in one of my magazines (can't remember what for...) I'll have to find it and send it to you. Vosges Chocolates has a truffle made with it which is Heavenly. I even think the container which holds the Matcha is cute, will have to try to find some at the gourmet market.

I've been intrigued with matcha ever since I first spotted some recipes made with it on the photo sites. Your cake looks great! I can't quite imagine the taste of green tea with chocolate (though what doesn't go with chocolate??!)
