🍵 Best Brands of Matcha Powder for Baking

The best matcha powder to use for cooking is a culinary grade or ceremonial grade of matcha.

One of the best brands of baking matcha powder is Matchaeologist, as their premium high-quality Japanese matcha is affordable yet still gives you that distinct earthy flavour and bright green colour.

Another great choice (especially if you're looking on Amazon) is Jade Leaf. They're reasonably priced and have a range of types, but their culinary grade is brilliant for baking!

1. Matcha White Chocolate Cake

This delicious matcha sponge cake is frosted with a creamy white chocolate ganache. The sweetness of white chocolate pairs perfectly with the earthy flavour of matcha powder.

Best of all, it's a simple two-layer cake that anyone can make at home - the perfect matcha white chocolate dessert idea!
