Step-by-Step Instructions for Matcha Strawberry Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), line four 6-inch cake pans with parchment paper, and grease them.
  2. Beat egg whites with lemon juice until soft peaks form, then gradually add sugar until glossy and stiff peaks are achieved.
  3. In another bowl, whisk egg yolks, milk, sunflower oil, and vanilla. Sift in cake flour and matcha powder, stirring until smooth. Fold in meringue gently.
  4. Divide batter among the prepared pans and bake for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 15 minutes then transfer to wire racks.
  5. Whip cream with powdered sugar, matcha, and vanilla until medium-stiff peaks form.
  6. Assemble the cake by layering whipped cream and mashed strawberries between cake layers. Chill for 20 minutes before serving.
