This delicious dairy free green tea cake does not have that neon green tea look because of the small amount of matcha used. But if you want to turn up the volume just add more matcha!

Green Tea Vegan Cake Slices, clean treat, healthy dessert with unrefined sugar and malt syrup

The sweetener used in the recipe is unrefined cane sugar, which comes in a natural state without being chemically processed. It retains a lot of nutrients like calcium, iron, and magnesium – which white refined sugar doesn’t.

It’s a great way to switch to healthy diet without cutting out on sugar completely.

Okie, it’s time to get down to the actions. Here is the recipe!

Vegan Matcha Green Tea Cake Slices

1 cup plain flour
¼ buckwheat flour
