Green Tea Pound Cake

Hi Hi,
It's been a long time since my latest update. Lots of things are happening and I feel like my brain is going to explode. I'm so confused between finding a normal 9 to 5 job or doing business or continue my study. I guess this is what 20 y.o crisis like.

I went seeking for job in Singapore for a month and since I'm not so patience person "Finding job isn't for me" that's what I think, so I'm giving up on finding job, and go back to my hometown and selling cakes online, the shop called La Vanille, Vanille in French means Vanilla (check out our ig by clicking the hyperlink). I'm not selling much but I'm happy still able to hold my whisk and playing with chocolate. So yeah, that's the story how I abandon my lovely blog here.

Okay, enough with my story. Let's jump to what I bake this week. It's a loaf of green tea pound cake (since I bought too much green tea and afraid that the smell will faded). I tried rasamalaysia's green tea pound cake but cut the white chocolate and red bean since I'm not  a big fan of them.

The pound cake turns out so fluffy and the sweetness is perfect for me even without the white chocolate. And what I should improve from my first trial is probably I need to double up the recipe since the it's not tall enough and maybe I should put a drop or two of green food coloring, because of the green tea color looks a bit dull for me and not so appealing.

Overall this cake is delish and perfect for green tea lovers.

Here's the recipe if you want to try it at home, and I've doubled up the recipe to make a perfect loaf cake.
