The camera flash makes it look yellow-green.
Got the frosting pretty smooth this time compared to the last time I made it.
One of my nieces calls it the “Earth Cake” because it kind of tastes ‘earthy’.
Everyone seems to like that the matcha kind of dulls the ‘sweetness’ that you usually get with plain buttercream frosting.
I am amazingly jealous 
The last thing I cooked for myself was PB&J 
Do you have the recipe? It sounds delicious!!
It’s so beautiful!!!
I think I got it memorized now.
The cake recipe I got from a Hershey’s recipe book:
1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour (sifted)
2 Tablespoons Matcha Powder (sifted)
3/4 cup of cocoa powder (I used cacao powder) (sifted)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
(–)
2 eggs
1 cup of strong black coffee (should be cooled and not hot)
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk (I use 3/4 cup yogurt + 1/4 cup milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla
The frosting:
1 stick of butter (1/2 cup) beat with 1/2 cup vegetable shortening, add in 4 cups of sifted powdered sugar (gradually), 2 or 3 tablespoons milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and then I add in 2 tablespoons of matcha powder.
I think that’s it. 
It pac man! Cool cake.
Saved! (Just in case)
That’s the perfect name for it, especially since tomorrow is Earth Day. 
Delicious looking!
Yumm!
