Matcha Latte Cake

This cake came from my love of matcha and the way it can make sweet things feel more grown-up: earthy, gently bitter, tea-like and wonderfully fragrant. I wanted to pair that calm green tea depth with soft sponge and a little Anges playfulness, so this cake brings together chocolate, red velvet and matcha sponge with vanilla and matcha Swiss meringue buttercream, Belgian chocolate ganache, matcha ganache, matcha latte chocolate cups and chocolate-covered biscuits. It is creamy, chocolatey, lightly bitter and not overly sweet, with just enough mischief in the decoration to stop it becoming too serious.
