Fluffy Matcha Cream Donuts Cake

Print Recipe

A light, oven-baked donut-style cake flavored with earthy matcha and filled with silky whipped cream, offering a fluffy texture and vibrant green color.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp culinary-grade matcha powder, plus extra for dusting
  • 2½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) neutral oil (e.g., grapeseed)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter (for brushing)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp mascarpone or cream cheese, softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Lightly grease a 12-well donut or mini Bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together flour, matcha, baking powder, salt, and ½ cup of the sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl whisk eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Fold wet ingredients into dry just until combined; do not over-mix.
  5. Pipe or spoon batter into prepared wells, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. Bake 12–14 minutes, until tops spring back and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Cool 5 minutes, then turn donuts onto a rack. Brush warm tops with melted butter and dust with a mixture of remaining ¼ cup sugar and 1 tsp matcha.
  8. For the filling, whip cream with powdered sugar to soft peaks, then fold in mascarpone.
  9. When donuts are completely cool, use a small knife or piping tip to create a cavity and pipe cream into centers.
  10. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.

Notes

  • Swap dairy milk and cream with oat milk and coconut cream for a vegan-friendly version (omit eggs and add ¼ cup applesauce as binder).
  • For a subtler flavor, dust with powdered sugar instead of matcha.
  • Unfilled donuts freeze well for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature, then fill just before serving.
