Matcha Recipes Offer Simple Homemade Cake and Waffle Dishes

Matcha, a powdered green tea, can be used beyond traditional tea. Two sources provide step‑by‑step instructions for three easy home recipes that showcase its vivid green colour and delicate vegetal flavour.

The first recipe is a matcha cake made with flour, matcha powder, baking powder, salt, eggs, sugar, coconut oil, milk and vanilla. It is baked at 180 °C for about 40‑45 minutes and finished with a lemon‑sugar glaze and fresh strawberries. The second recipe is a matcha waffle topped with smoked salmon, thinly sliced zucchini, cream cheese, lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper. The waffle batter combines flour, matcha, baking powder, salt, egg, milk and olive oil before being cooked in a waffle iron. Both dishes illustrate how matcha can add colour, aroma and flavor to everyday home cooking.
