Matcha Christmas Bundt Cake

Method

1 - Prepare the Oven and Mould

• Preheat the oven to 150°C.
• Grease a bundt cake mould or use a silicone bundt pan for easy removal.

2 - Mix Wet Ingredients

• In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale in colour.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
• Stir in the vanilla extract and add the evaporated milk and mix until the batter is smooth and uniform.

3 - Prepare the Dry Ingredients

• In a separate bowl, combine the plain flour and baking powder.
• Sift the matcha powder into the dry ingredients to ensure there are no lumps. Mix well.

4 - Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

• Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
• If using, fold in the dried fruits gently.

5 - Bake the Cake

• Pour the batter into the prepared bundt cake mould, smoothing the surface.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• Allow the cake to cool completely in the mould before removing.

6 - Decorate

• Once the cake has cooled, dust the top with icing sugar for a snowy effect.
• Sprinkle with dried fruits or add festive decorations to enhance the Christmas theme.
