Cake body:
Butter: 200g (softened at room temperature)
Sugar: 180g
Eggs: 4
Cake flour: 200g
Baking powder: 1 tsp
Milk: 50ml
Matcha powder: 10g
Cocoa powder: 15g
Decoration:
Icing: appropriate amount
Colored sugar beads: appropriate amount
Edible silver powder: a little (optional, used to increase the festive gloss)
Step 1: Prepare the mold and oven
Preheat the oven to 170°C.
Evenly spread a thin layer of butter in the Grearminds white pound cake baking mold and sprinkle with a layer of low-gluten flour to ensure that the cake is easy to demould.
Step 2: Make the cake batter
Use a whisk to beat the softened butter in a large bowl until smooth, add granulated sugar in batches, and beat until fluffy and white.
Add eggs in 4 batches, stirring evenly each time before adding the next batch to avoid egg and oil separation.
Mix the low-gluten flour and baking powder, sift them into the butter paste, and stir evenly with a spatula.
Pour in the milk and gently stir to form a fine batter.
Divide the batter into two parts, add matcha powder to one part and mix well, and add cocoa powder to the other part and mix well.
Step 3: Assemble and bake
Pour matcha paste and cocoa paste into the mold alternately, and stir gently with a toothpick to form a marble texture.
Put the mold into the oven and bake at 170°C for 45-50 minutes. Remove it when there is no wet sticky substance when the toothpick is inserted.
After the cake cools slightly, remove it from the mold and place it on a cooling rack to cool completely.
Step 4: Decorate the Christmas tree shape
Use icing to draw the outline of the Christmas tree on the surface of the cake.
Sprinkle colorful sugar beads on the "branches" as "decorative lights".
If you want to increase the texture, you can lightly brush edible silver powder on the surface of the icing to create a sparkling snowflake effect.
Step 5: Finish and enjoy
Put the decorated Christmas tree matcha cocoa pound cake on the holiday table to share the joy of the festival with family and friends. Paired with a hot drink, it's warm and sweet!
