For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of white sugar. A splash of vanilla extract can complement the green tea flavor beautifully. Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar or matcha powder for an elegant presentation. This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
