Directions

In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and sugar using a spatula until smooth. Gradually beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Add the egg yolks and mix well until the batter is smooth and creamy.

In a separate bowl, dissolve the matcha powder in hot water, stirring until smooth. Add the heavy cream and cornstarch, mixing well until fully combined.

3. Step

Pour the matcha mixture into the cream cheese mixture and stir gently until smooth.

4. Step

Strain the combined batter through a sieve into a 6-inch cake pan to remove any lumps. Preheat the oven to 170°C (338°F). Bake the cake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool before serving.
