Cake Mix - Matcha Cherry

I’m obsessed with matcha for its vivid emerald color, gentle bitterness and health properties - it’s one of my favorite ingredients to bake with. In this moist cake, tart and juicy cherries compliment the unique flavor of the matcha while the icing (you can make either a glaze or a buttercream) adds a welcome sweetness, rounding off each bite perfectly. Like all of my recipes this one contains almond flour, which helps to make the baked cake exceptionally moist and luscious.

This cake can be made vegan too!

We worked with beloved matcha brand Thea on this cake kit because their matcha is second to none, they are rockstars and they are also a family, women run biz!
