Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160 °C (320 °F). Line a 20 cm (8 inch) square baking pan with parchment paper and grease the edges.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks and 60 g of castor sugar. Beat on high until pale and thick, about 3-4 minutes. Add 120 ml of milk and 1 tsp of vanilla extract; mix well.
- Sift in 120 g of cake flour, 2 tsp of matcha powder, 1 tsp of baking powder, and a pinch of salt into the yolk mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ones.
- In a clean bowl, whip egg whites with 1/2 tsp of cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add remaining castor sugar, whipping until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully fold whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in three additions, incorporating gently to preserve air bubbles.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
- To make the milk soak, whisk together 300 ml of sweetened condensed milk, 120 ml of evaporated milk, 120 ml of regular milk, and 2 tsp of matcha powder until smooth.
- Poke holes in the cooled cake with a skewer or fork. Pour the matcha milk mixture evenly over the cake and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- In a mixing bowl, whip 240 ml of heavy cream with 80 g of powdered sugar and 1-2 tsp of matcha powder until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped matcha cream over the chilled cake and garnish each slice with fresh strawberries. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
Best soaked overnight for maximum flavor. Use room temperature eggs and sift dry ingredients for a fluffy texture.
