How to Make Matcha and Berry Marble Pound Cake

Prep

1. Whip the softened butter at room temperature with a hand mixer until it reaches a creamy consistency, then gradually add the sugar and mix further.
   
2. Gradually add the beaten eggs while stirring each time.
   
3. Sift the cake flour and baking powder again, then add them to the bowl from step 2, and gently fold the mixture using a rubber spatula.
   
4. Divide the batter into two equal parts. Add berry powder to one part by sifting it in and mix well.
   
5. Similarly, sift matcha powder into the other part and mix thoroughly.
   
6. Layer the two batters alternately in the pound cake mold, and finally, swirl a skewer through the batter to create a marbled effect. Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for approximately 35-40 minutes. After 10 minutes, make an incision in the center with a knife.
7. Once baked, remove the cake from the mold by gently tapping it from a height. Allow it to cool on a wire rack until it reaches a warm temperature to the touch, then wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
   
8. Once the pound cake is thoroughly chilled, drizzle it with icing made by mixing powdered sugar and water, and top it with crushed mixed nuts.
