Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, matcha powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition. Pour in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 38 to 42 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. While the cake cools, whisk together matcha powder with warm water until dissolved, then stir in milk and condensed milk.
  8. Beat the butter, cream cheese, freeze-dried strawberries, and powdered sugar until fluffy.
  9. Once cooled, poke holes in the cake, pour the matcha soak over the cake, then frost with the strawberry cream cheese frosting.
