Cake
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/3 cups extra virgin olive oil
1 1/4 cups whole milk
3 eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons matcha
1/4 cup green tea
White chocolate glaze
12 ounces white chocolate chips
2/3 cup heavy cream

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prep a 9-inch cake pan by buttering and lightly flouring, then lining the bottom with parchment paper.
2
If you're like me, you only have one big bowl and assorted smaller ones. In a smaller one, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and matcha. If you want a stronger matcha flavor, you can double the amount of matcha.
3
In your big bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: extra virgin olive oil (the higher quality the better), milk, eggs, and tea.
4
Add the dry ingredient mixture and whisk together until just combined.
5
Bake for around one hour (mine took around 1 hour, 15 minutes) until the middle is set and the top is golden brown. Let it cool for around two hours.
6
In the meantime, make Erin McDowell's white chocolate glaze. Bring the heavy cream to a boil, then pour over the white chocolate chips. Wait 30 seconds, then stir until smooth. Let the mixture cool for 15-20 minutes before glazing the cake.
