Ingredients

Cake base:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp matcha green tea powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream
  • cooking spray

Buttercream:

  • 2 cups unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or seeds from 1 vanilla bean
  • 5 cups confectioner’s sugar
  • 3 tbsp matcha green tea powder
  • 1 package of red Fruit by the Foot
  • festive candies and sprinkles

Instructions

Bake the cake:

  • Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until pale and smooth. Add the vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time, mixing with each addition.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, matcha green tea powder, baking soda and salt. Add this to the batter in 2 additions, alternating with the sour cream.
  • Spoon the batter into a greased and floured bundt pan. Bake at 350F for 45-60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Cool completely.

Make the buttercream:

  • Beat the butter with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and confectioner’s sugar one cup at a time, beating with each addition.
  • Add the matcha green tea powder and mix well.
  • Place about ¾ of the buttercream into a piping bag fitted with a large, open star-shaped piping tip.

Assembly:

  • Place the cake on your work surface and, if desired, round the edges of the cake with a serrated knife, creating a wreath-like appearance.
  • Cover the entire surface of the cake in a thin layer of buttercream. This will help the piped buttercream stick better.
  • Using the buttercream in the piping bag, pipe tufts of buttercream all over the cake.
  • Create a bow out of the Fruit by the Foot and stick to the cake. Decorate with festive candy and sprinkles and enjoy!
