Ingredients

• 100 grams Bread flour
• 1.5 tablespoons Matcha powder
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Milk
• 1 teaspoon Mirin(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C) and line a high-sided loaf pan with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Whisk the honey, warm water, and milk together in a small bowl until the honey is fully dissolved.

3. 3

   Sift the bread flour and matcha powder together twice to ensure a fine texture and no lumps.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar using an electric mixer on high speed for about 5-8 minutes until the mixture is thick, pale, and reaches the 'ribbon stage'.

5. 5

   Add the honey mixture to the eggs and whisk gently on low speed to combine.

6. 6

   Gradually add the sifted flour and matcha mixture in three batches, folding gently with a spatula to maintain the air bubbles.

7. 7

   Pour the batter into the prepared pan and tap it on the counter several times to release large air bubbles.

8. 8

   Bake for 45 minutes, then immediately wrap the warm cake in plastic wrap to trap moisture and refrigerate for 24 hours before slicing.
