Can I add more or less matcha?

Yes, you can! If you don’t want a strong matcha flavor or color, you can add less, and if you love matcha, feel free to add 1 to 2 tablespoons more for a stronger flavor.

Do I need to sift my matcha?

Yes, this will help to evenly incorporate the matcha into the cake batter, ensuring consistent flavor throughout.

Do I need to sift my powdered sugar?

Yes, this ensures a smooth, creamy, lump-free buttercream frosting for decorating the outside of the cake.
