Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp sea salt
  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 0.5 cup whole milk
  • 1.5 tbsp culinary grade matcha powder
  • 2 tbsp black sesame paste unsweetened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For a more intense flavor, you can lightly toast black sesame seeds and grind them into a paste yourself. This cake pairs beautifully with a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
