Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F/180F. Line a pound loaf tin with parchment paper for ease of unmolding and clean up – set a side.
- In a stand mixer bowl, scale and combine butter, sugar & vanilla.
- Set bowl in to mixer, set and secure with paddle attachment. Beat until fluffy, stopping mixer and scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
- Once butter mixture is fluffy, and mixer is running on “slow”, add eggs one-at-a-time.
- Continue to whip butter until all the eggs are well incorporated.
- Set another bowl onto scale. Measure and combine all-purpose flour, Green Chai Matcha Blend and baking powder, stir flour mix to blend well – this facilitates mixing & prevents clumping.
- Add grated carrots to mixing bowl, stir to combine well, approx. 1-2min.
- While mixers is running on low speed, add flour blend in three stages.
- Transfer cake batter to lined pound loaf tin ( your tin should be approx. ¾ full )
- Lightly tap loaf tin onto counter to knock out any large air pockets that may have formed during filling. Push into center of preheated oven, bake for 55-60 min, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the middle of cake comes out “clean” (with some moist crumbs!)
- Remove baked Green Chai Matcha Carrot Cake from the oven, allow to cool off in its tin for approx. 10min, then un-mold cake and cool completely on a wire rack. Approx. 1hr
- For the Frosting: whip room temperature cream cheese with a whisk until smooth, add several drops of green food color if using, then on low speed add sifted icing sugar and Green Chai Mix.
- Mix frosting until it’s nice and smooth. Generously apply frosting to cooled Carrot cake, either using a small spatula, spoon or using a piping bag!
- Enjoy with a hot cup of Tea-Squared Premium Tea or New Matcha Tea Latte!
