Green Tea Lemon Cake Recipe

In Cooking Tree, Green Tea Lemon Cake is on the menu, and we’ll show you how to make it from scratch.

It is a green tea lemon cake that has a good combination of delicate green tea and refreshing lemon.

I added a little lemon curd to the soft Swiss meringue buttercream and mixed it, and the cream has a lemon scent, so I think it’s better~

Yellow from head to toe~ hahaha It’s a sweet and sour cake^^

Enjoy watching~♬~
