Kiwi Matcha Lime Tea Cake Recipe #380996
From the "Cooking with Amy" food blog (cookingwithamy.blogspot.com) comes this unusual and colorful quick bread. It's a great way to use up too-ripe kiwis. Amy describes it as "tangy and moist, not too sweet, and great with a cup of tea." I haven't tried it yet, simply because I have no matcha (green tea powder) on hand. You could make this without the matcha, but I love green tea so much that I want to wait until I can make the recipe as written. The flavor is predominantly kiwi, with the matcha and lime adding nicely complimentary notes.
