Making My Dream Strawberry Matcha Cake 🍓🍵

In honor of my mom, who always made cakes for us when we were children. 🤍 Some of my favorite childhood memories were spent in the kitchen with my mom. She always had something sweet baking in the oven, and I was right there beside her, helping, watching, and secretly tasting the batter whenever I could. After losing her, I slowly stopped baking. It just didn’t feel the same anymore. But lately, I’ve been wanting to reconnect with those memories and bring a little piece of her back into my life through the things she loved. This Matcha Strawberry Cake is the first step in that journey. It’s soft, light, creamy, and filled with fresh strawberries. Every slice reminds me of the beautiful moments we shared together in the kitchen. If you decide to make it, I hope it brings you as much comfort and happiness as it brings me. 🤍 🍓 Matcha Strawberry Cake For the sponge cake 4 eggs (room temperature) 120 g sugar 120 g cake flour (or all-purpose flour, sifted) 20 g melted unsalted butter 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tbsp milk For the whipped matcha cream 500 ml cold heavy whipping cream 250 g mascarpone 60 g powdered sugar (adjust to taste) 2–3 tsp good quality matcha powder 1 tsp vanilla extract For the filling 300–400 g fresh strawberries, sliced Instructions 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). 2. Whisk the eggs and sugar until pale, thick, and tripled in volume. 3. Gently fold in the sifted flour. 4. Mix the melted butter, milk, and vanilla together, then fold it into the batter. 5. Bake for 30-45 minutes, then let the cake cool completely. 6. Beat the mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla, and matcha together. Add the cold cream and whip until stiff peaks form. 7. Slice the cake into two or three layers. 8. Spread a layer of matcha cream, add plenty of fresh strawberries, and repeat. 9. Cover the entire cake with the remaining cream and decorate with extra strawberries and a light dusting of matcha powder. 10. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving for the best texture. Made with love, inspired by the sweetest memories. 🤍 Song: Daystar - The Smell of Flowers:    • ✨샛별 - 꽃내음🌼✨(Royalty Free Music) #1분브금   #strawberrymatcha #matchacake #cakerecipe #baking #foodie #dessert
