I always think matcha or green tea and strawberry is a seamless blend of dessert art.
The colour tone catches the eye and the taste of combination is deliciously notable.
This strawberry shortcake has the ordinary butter biscuit replaced by a matcha pound cake recipe. This twist is actually inspired by my Matcha Strawberry Mini Bundt Cake, which also uses Natvia as the natural sweetener.
I like how the slight bitterness from Natvia has been covered by the pronounce matcha flavor, whilst it is pretty crucial to use good quality matcha powder like this. So make sure you're not using green tea granules!
