绿茶可可蛋糕 (Chocolate Matcha Cake)

当~当~当~我用新烤箱烘烤的第一个蛋糕终于出炉啦！为什么会选择这个蛋糕呢？原因无他，只是因为所需要的材料我恰巧都有。 烘烤的时候屋里有香香的绿茶和可可味, mmm~

好喜欢蛋糕的颜色和花纹~

蛋糕放进冰箱隔一天，口感更佳，有点像brownie，可惜就是太甜了。

9"四方模

Chocolate Mixture （可可干料）
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp salt - 我没用unsalted butter，所以这个没放，免得会咸

Matcha mixture （绿茶干料）
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2-3 Tbsp matcha powder
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp salt - 没放

Wet ingredients （湿料）
3 cups sugar - 建议减量
1 cup butter, room temperature - 我用250g buttercup
3 eggs, room temperature
1 3/4 cup milk, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla essense

* 用两个碗，分开混合可可干料和绿茶干料至均匀，备用。
* 用mixer把牛油和糖打至淡黄色。逐粒加入蛋，牛奶和香草精。搅拌均匀。
* 把面糊分成两份。各自加入可可干料和绿茶干料搅匀。
* 把搅拌好的可可和绿茶面糊分次加入蛋糕模。可可->绿茶->可可->绿茶，以此类推。
* 轻轻用小刀在面糊划两个漩涡，制造云石花纹。
* 放入预热烤箱，以170度烤大约60分钟。出炉后倒扣待凉。

* Grease and flour (or cocoa) cake pan.
* With a wire whisk, mix the dry ingredients for the chocolate mixture in a small bowl and set aside.
* In another small bowl, do the same for the matcha mixture.
* Using a mixer, cream the butter and sugar. Add the eggs, milk and vanilla and mix until thoroughly combined.
* Divide the creamed mixture evenly in two separate bowls.
* Slowly add the chocolate mixture to one half of the creamed mixture and mix thoroughly.
* Then, add the matcha mixture to the other half of the creamed mixture and mix thoroughly.
* Drop alternating spoonfuls of each mixture into the pan until it's about 3/4 full.
* For a marbled effect, gently run a knife through the two batters in a swirling motion. (Once or twice will do the trick.)
* Put into preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour at 170C.
