  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp green tea powder
  • 80gm sugar
  • 100gm butter
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten

  2. Cream butter and sugar until the mixture turns pale and fluffy.
  3. Add in the eggs gradually, mix well after each addition.
  4. Sieve over the flour mixture in 3 separate additions. Each time, gently fold with a spatula until flour mixture is fully incorporated into the batter.

  1. Hi, Peng

    Although I'm a big fan of cakes, cookies and breads, I'm still too coward to try baking yet. Instead of baking, I will try it with my Panasonic rice cooker. Hope it turns out well too
