Gluten Free Coconut and Matcha Cream Cake

Ingredients

Cake:

  • 100g (¼ cup + 3 tbsp) butter
  • 100g (½ cup) sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
  • 110g (¾ cup + 1 tbsp + 1 tsp) gluten free flour blend (see note 1)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons desiccated coconut
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Topping:

  • 250ml (1 cup) whipping cream
  • desiccated Coconut and matcha (to sprinkle)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 170ºC (325ºF) and grease a small cake tin (mine was an 18cm/6 inch springform).
  • Beat the sugar and butter together until fluffy and light. Add the eggs one at a time until well incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Add to the wet ingredients a touch at a time. Finally, add the milk just to loosen the batter slightly.
  • Pour the batter into the pan and bake for around 30-35 minutes. The cake is ready when an inserted skewer comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool for a while before removing the springform case. Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Whip the cream until nice and thick and smother over the top of the cake. Sprinkle as much or as little coconut and matcha as you like. Slice and enjoy!

I have converted grams to cups/ounces/tablespoons using online converters. Although I have no reason to believe they are inaccurate, please be aware that I have not made the recipe with imperial measurements.
In addition, many ingredients are different in Europe compared to North America. I do all I can to offer possible alternatives and to ensure the best possible outcomes for everyone. However, results cannot always be guaranteed if you have not used the same ingredients, measurements or methods as me.
Lastly, I do everything I can to ensure that my recipes (and instructions) are accurate and easy to follow. However, I am human, and don't always get it right. If you notice anything strange, a mistake, or even a typo, please let me know in the comments.
