- 4 oz (115 g) butter (Softened | At Room Temperature)
- 3.53 oz (100 g) light brown sugar (Original recipe calls for only brown sugar)
- 3.53 oz (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 eggs (Large | At Room Temperature)
- 15 oz (425 g) overripe bananas (3 Large | Mashed)
- 1 tsp (5 g) vanilla bean paste
- 8.82 oz (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (4 g) baking soda
- 1/2 tsp (3 g) sea salt
- 3 Tbsp (45 g) matcha powder (Divided)
- 1 Tbsp (15 g) milk
DECORATIONS
- 1 oz (28 g) white chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp (2 g) coconut oil
- 4 Tbsp (40 g) sprinkles (Foliay | Pot of Gold Mix)
Instructions
- Line a bundt cake tin like you would usually do and set aside. NOTE: For this recipe, I used my twisted Crown Mold placed on top of a medium perforated baking sheet. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
MATCHA BANANA BREAD PREPARATION
- In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter together with the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, then add the mashed bananas and vanilla bean paste. Mix until combined.4 oz butter, 3.53 oz light brown sugar, 3.53 oz granulated sugar, 2 eggs, 15 oz overripe bananas, 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- Fold the all-purpose flour, baking soda and sea salt. Split the batter – approximately – into 2 mixing bowls. In one add 1 tablespoon of matcha and in the other one 2 tablespoons of matcha and 1 Tablespoon of milk.8.82 oz all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp sea salt, 3 Tbsp matcha powder, 1 Tbsp milk
- Pour the lighter batter first and leveling it into the prepared bundt cake tin. Then, add the second batter, level it as well. NOTE: In doing so I was hopping to do a 2 tone matcha ; however the one I use is quite dense. Feel free to use one batter only with the 3 tablespoons of matcha and 1 tablespoon of milk.
BAKE!
- Bake for 25 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your cake from 22 minutes). It is ready when the toothpick inserted comes out clean or with little to no crumbs.
- Once your Matcha Banana Bread is out of the oven, let it cool down for a couple of minutes in the mold before unmolding onto your service platter.
DECORATION
- Melt the white chocolate together with the coconut oil, in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave using 20-second intervals. Stir between intervals to ensure a smooth, lump-free consistency.1 oz white chocolate chips, 1/2 tsp coconut oil
- Roughly brush the white chocolate over the cooled cake ; and add the sprinkles right away, before the chocolate sets. NOTE: Here I used Foliay | Pot of Gold Mix. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!4 Tbsp sprinkles
