* ~ MATCHA CAKE WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE AND PISTACHIOS ~ *

INGREDIENTS

MATCHA CAKE:
- 200g (13 tbsp) soft salted butter/margarine
- 170g (generous ¾ cup) caster sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 200g (1 ⅔ cup) self-raising flour
- 1 rounded tbsp matcha powder

WHITE CHOCOLATE FROSTING:
- 200g (13tbsp) soft salted butter
- 225g (1 ¾ cups) icing sugar
- 100g (3 oz) mascarpone cheese
- 100g (3 oz) melted white chocolate
- 1 tsp matcha powder (optional)

TO ASSEMBLE:
- 50g (⅓ cup) pistachios

INSTRUCTIONS

MATCHA CAKE:
1) Preheat your oven to 180°C / 160°C fan / 350°F / gas mark 4.
2) Grease two 15cm (6 in) cake tins thoroughly, and line their bases with some greaseproof or parchment paper.
3) Measure your butter/margarine and sugar into a large bowl.
4) Beat well with a freestanding mixer, electric whisk, or wooden spoon, until light and fluffy. This should take 1-2 minutes.
5) Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition.
6) Add the flour and matcha powder and stir gently until just smooth and combined into a thick green batter.
7) Pour the mixture evenly between the 2 tins and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until risen, and a skewer inserted into the centre can be cleanly removed.
8) Allow the cakes to cool in their tins for about 15 minutes before removing them and allowing them to cool completely on a wire rack.

WHITE CHOCOLATE FROSTING:
1) In a large bowl, beat together all the frosting ingredients, except the matcha powder (if using), until you have a fluffy white frosting. This can take up to 5 minutes.
2) If you would like to have a pale green marble to the frosting, halve the frosting and mix the matcha powder with one half. This way you can play around with the white and pastel green shades!

TO ASSEMBLE:
1) Set a small frying pan over a medium heat.
2) Tip your pistachios into the pan, rolling them around in the dry heat for up to 8 minutes. By this point you should smell their delicious savouriness, but not burnt bitterness!
4) Allow the nuts to cool for 5 minutes before chopping into small pieces.
5) Once all components have been prepared, place one cake onto your serving plate and slather the top with some of your frosting.
6) Scatter over half of your chopped pistachios.
7) Top this with the second cake layer.
8) Spread or pipe your remaining frosting all over the top and sides of the cake, decorating however you like with the remaining pistachios.
9) Slice up and enjoy!
BE A MAVERICK: try adding some lemon zest to the frosting for an even fresher flavour!

This Matcha Cake with White Chocolate and Pistachios will keep well in an airtight container for up to 4 days. No need to refrigerate unless you live somewhere very warm, or you prefer cold cake!
