💡 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 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.
