Ingredients

• 4 pieces eggs large, room temperature

• 1 can evaporated milk
• 1 tablespoon matcha powder for tres leches soak
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon matcha powder for chantilly cream
• 1 cup strawberries sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

3. Pour the batter into a greased 9x9-inch cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
4. While the cake bakes, prepare the matcha tres leches by mixing together 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 can of condensed milk, 1 can of evaporated milk, and 1 tablespoon of matcha powder.
5. After removing the cake from the oven, let it cool slightly, then poke holes all over the cake with a fork and slowly drizzle the matcha tres leches mixture evenly over the top.
6. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until all the milk is absorbed.
7. Before serving, prepare matcha chantilly cream by whipping 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of matcha powder until soft peaks form.
8. Spread the matcha chantilly cream over the chilled cake and garnish with fresh strawberries before serving.
