Ingredients
  

Matcha Loaf Bread
  • non-stick spray with flour
  • 1 box white cake mix
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 eggs
  • 1.5 Tbsp matcha powder
Glaze
  • 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 Tbsp lemon zest optional
  • 2-3 Tbsp milk

Equipment

  • 2 8-inch loaf pans

Method
 

Prep
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Spray your loaf pans with non-stick spray. I like the type that contains flour for non-stick. Alternately, you can spray the sides and line the bottom of the loaf pan with parchment paper.
Mix Batter
  1. In a mixer, add white cake mix, vegetable oil, sour cream, and eggs.
  2. Sift matcha powder into the mixing bowl.
  3. Mix on medium for 2 minutes, pausing to scrape down the sides.
  4. Pour half of the batter into each of two greased loaf pans.
Bake
  1. Bake both loaves at the same time for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  2. Place loaves on a wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes while you make the glaze.
Make Glaze
  1. In a bowl, add powdered sugar and lemon zest, if using. Add 2 tablespoons of milk and whisk. If glaze is too thick, add another tablespoon of milk and whisk again. Repeat if necessary. I like my glaze to be drizzly.
  2. Pour or spoon glaze onto each cooled loaf. The glaze will set in about 5 minutes.

Notes

To freeze, let cool. Then, wrap in wax paper, place in a freezer bag, and freeze. Thaws in about 20 minutes on the counter.
