Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 325°F Grease and flour a 10" Bundt pan.

2. 2

   Stir matcha into yogurt until smooth and lump-free; it will be a vivid, bright green. Sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

3. 3

   In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well to incorporate after each addition. Add vanilla.

4. 4

   Add 1/3 of flour mixture, and beat on low until combined. Add 1/2 of yogurt and beat until combined. Add 1/2 of remaining flour and beat until combined. Add remaining yogurt and beat until combined. Add remaining flour. Beat until just combined, then increase speed to medium-high and beat 2-3 minutes.

5. 5

   Pour batter evenly into prepared pan (it will be very thick). Bake in preheated oven 1 hour or until a cake tester comes out clean.

6. 6

   Cool in pan 10 minutes, then remove from pan and leave on a rack until completely cooled. Dust top with confectioner's sugar.
