Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons Green tea powder
  • ¼ cup warm milk

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil

Instructions
 

  • Grease cake tin and lightly dust with flour, shake off excess.
  • Preheat oven to 180 deg. C
  • Cut open tea bags and pour out the dry tea leaves into a coffee grinder or blender dry mill.
  • Grind to turn into powder. Sieve using a very fine sieve.

  • In another bowl sift together flour and baking powder, mix well and set aside.
  • Place eggs, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of your mixer or any clean bowl, beat until light and fluffy.
  • Add oil in a steady stream and beat on low speed or if mixing by hand, just continue beating.
  • Pour in milk and keep mixing.
  • Add flour and mix well. Scrape down the sides of your bowl.
  • Pour cake batter into the prepared tin.
  • Hit cake tin hard 4-5 times on a table to avoid large air bubbles forming inside the cooked cake.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes until a skewer inserted into it comes out clean.
  • Place tin on a cooling rack to cool a bit then remove cake from tin to cool completely. Eat warm or cool.

Notes

  • Serve with Golden Rice milk, kunnu Aya (Tiger nut milk), Zobo, Sorrel drink, Easy Homemade Lemonade.
  • You can mix your green tea powder with the flour but mixing it with the milk gives a brighter colour.
