Matcha Marble Pound Cake Step 2Cream butter in a bowl. Add sugar and beat until fluffy. Add vanilla extract. Add the egg in little by little and beat until incorporated. Add self-raising flour and fold with a spatula. Add milk when there is little powder left, then fold until glossy.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Matcha Marble Pound Cake Step 3Divide the batter into two. Add matcha powder in one of the batter and fold until incorporated. Scoop the plain batter and the matcha batter alternately into the cake tin. Using a small spatula or knife, swirl gently through the batters to marble. Tap the cake tin on table a few times to remove air bubbles.
