Ingredients
  

Strawberry Matcha Loaf
  • non-stick spray with flour
  • 2 cups of boxed white cake mix See note about using boxed cake mix
  • 2 cups of boxed strawberry cake mix See note about using boxed cake mix
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil divided
  • 1 cup sour cream divided
  • 4 eggs divided
  • 1.5 Tbsp matcha powder
Strawberry Glaze
  • 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 Tbsp strawberry sundae topping
  • 2-4 Tbsp milk

Equipment

  • 2 8-inch loaf pans
  • Mixer

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.
Make Matcha Batter
  1. In a mixer, add white cake mix, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 2 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.
Make Strawberry Batter and Combine with Matcha Batter
  1. In a mixer, add strawberry cake mix, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 2 eggs.
  2. Mix on medium for 2 minutes, pausing to scrape down the sides.
  3. Pour half of the batter into each of the two loaf pans, pouring on top of the matcha batter.
  4. Use a butter knife to swirl the batters together in each pan.
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 Strawberry Glaze
  1. In a bowl, add powdered sugar and strawberry sundae topping. 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

Note: you do NOT use the other ingredients on the back of the boxed cake mix, only the powder.
This is my favorite matcha powder (affiliate link).
Can I freeze this bread? Yes. Wrap the loaf in wax paper and place it in a tight Ziploc bag. It thaws out perfectly for an easy breakfast later on.
If you don't want any cake mix leftover, double the recipe to make 4 8-inch loaves. This uses all of the cake mix. Freeze or gift the extra loaves!
