Ingredients: flour, butter, sour cream, milk, sugar, eggs, organic ceremonial matcha (green tea powder), black sesame dust, lemon juice, salt, vanilla, edible flowers or gold leaf.

This was originally inspired by the beautiful color of matcha green tea powder and the unique textures in the ceramics my friend makes (it was her birthday). I wanted to find a way to create a minimal-looking cake (her vibes) with Japanese flavors (high up on the flavors list for my friend), so at the urging of another friend, I combined matcha and black sesame to make this really dense cake, layered with black sesame buttercream. It's not too sweet and it has a little bit of umami flavor, even a peanut butter adjacent vibe because of the black sesame seeds dust.
