For The Cake:

  • In a bowl sieve together flour, corn starch, baking powder, and salt.

  • Add in the lemon juice and the vanilla extract and give it another mix.
  • Now gradually add the dry mixture into the wet and using a spatula, mix it until a smooth batter forms.
  • Take out ⅓ of the batter, put it in another bowl, and add the matcha to this bowl. 
  • Mix it until matcha is well combined into the batter.
  • To the remaining ⅔ of the batter, add the lemon zest and fold it until evenly mixed.
  • Take a greased and lined loaf pan and add a little bit of the lemon batter into the pan.
  • Now add a layer of matcha batter into the pan.
  • Repeat this alternating between the lemon batter and matcha batter until all the batter is added to the pan.
  • Bake the loaf in a preheated oven at 350° F for about 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Let the loaf cool to room temperature. 

For The Frosting:

  • Place all the ingredients into a blender jar and process it for around 3-5 minutes until you get a smooth mixture. 
  • Add it all over the top of the loaf in dollops. Spread it as evenly as you can.
  • Slice and enjoy the cake!
