Step 1/ 10
- ¼ egg whites

Beat egg whites in a large bowl until soft peaks. This will help give the cake a light texture.
Step 2/ 10

- ⅓ tsp baking powder
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ¼ tbsp matcha powder
- sieve
Sift together matcha, flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
Step 3/ 10

In a separate large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in vanilla and the 2 egg yolks, mix until combined.
Step 4/ 10
- 30 ml milk
Add the dry ingredients and milk to the creamed mixture. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5/ 10
Fold in egg whites. The batter should not be thin.
Step 6/ 10
Put batter in prepared muffin pan(either paper-lined or greased). Do not overfill, slightly more than halfway. Bake at 178C for 18-22 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick through the center. It should come out clean. Bake off more if there is leftover batter.

Allow cakes to cool before frosting and enjoy!
