Mizuba Matcha Green Tea Citrus Olive Oil Tea Cake Loaf. Refined Sugar Free Recipe

Ingredients:

Dry

1.5 cups whole wheat pastry flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon finely grated zest (we used grapefruit, but also highly recommend blood orange or lemon!)

1 cup coconut sugar

Wet

2 eggs 

1/3 cup good olive oil

1 teaspoon vanilla

3/4 cups yogurt

5) Reduce speed on your mixer, and add half your dry ingredients. 

6) Stir in 3/4 cup yogurt. 

7) Add the remaining half of the dry ingredients to your mixture

8) Add 5 tablespoons citrus juice.
