Suitable even for breakfast, this almond tea cake incorporates a kind of green tea that is not only loaded with antioxidants, it's also known for its energy-boosting properties. The matcha tea cake recipe from the All Day I Dream About Food blog is low carb and gluten-free, making it a perfect choice for people with dietary restrictions. The dessert is also an excellent example of how to good with green tea -- something that's been happening more and more in the culinary world.
This treat is described as a variation of the Almond Crusted Butter Cake already featured on the food blog. The matcha coffee cake is also a perfect mid-day pick-me-up snack. The almond tea cake calls for matcha green tea powder, as well as almond flour, whey protein powder, stevia extract, almond extract and almond milk.
