There's a reason why I don't bake. It takes too much effort and you REALLY have to follow the recipe. I tend to not thoroughly read the recipe, I'll skim through the recipe and just sort of get the bigger picture. So when I tried to make Molly's matcha cake, I totally failed. I totally failed at reading the very first sentence..."for an 8-inch cake, grease two 8-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment." Instead of using TWO cake pans, I used only one and created this massive dense thing that my friend said looks like cat food. I realized the mistake when the cake wasn't done baking at 28mins. Another lesson I learned is to not put a bunch of yuzu curd in the middle of the cake or else it'll just collapse.
Though in the end, this was still a pretty tasty cake.
You can head over to Molly's site for the matcha cake recipe. As for the yuzu curd, I used the lemon curd recipe from Epicurious and just replaced the lemon juice with yuzu juice.
If you don't know by now.......this is my favorite treat from
