Foodie Friday: Green Tea Cake

Green tea cake: the beverage turned into a delicious cake

Here’s my tried and true way of celebrating: Cake! (Want a reason to party? How about my book as a finalist for Book of the Year Award?)

Not just any type of cake will satisfy my cravings. My go-to is green tea cake. It’s not too sweet, and I can indulge while convincing myself I’m stocking up on antioxidants. A swirl of whipped cream adds a hint of sweetness to this traditional roll cake, while the red beans provide a contrasting, chewy texture.

My cake preferences have changed throughout the years, morphing from “pink champagne” and “cookies and cream” to green tea, mango, and taro.

What was or is your favorite cake flavor?
