💡 Tips & Tricks

  • For even more juiciness, you can stir in 1 tablespoon of apple puree into the dough.
  • Soaked raisins or dried figs also work instead of dates.
  • The cake will keep fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

Can I use other yogurt alternatives instead of soy skyr?

Yes! Coconut, almond, or lupin yogurt work just as well—as long as they're creamy.
Does the cake taste a lot like matcha?

The frosting has a subtle green tea flavor, but the cake remains pleasantly mild and sweet. Ideal for matcha beginners!
Can I use other flours?

Yes, you can use spelt flour or a gluten-free baking mix, for example. Depending on the type, you may need to add a little more liquid.
How big should the baking pan be?

A small rectangular pan (approx. 20x20 cm) is perfect for this amount. Alternatively, you can also use muffin cups.
How long does the matcha frosting last?

The frosting will stay fresh in the refrigerator for about 3 days. It's best to store it separately and spread it fresh on the cake.
