Ingredients
  

Matcha batter
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 10 g matcha powder sifted
  • 30-35 ml water or milk
Meringue
  • 2 egg whites
  • zero-calorie sweetener to taste
Topping
  • crushed Oreos optional, a handful

Method
 

  1. Separate 2 eggs. Put the yolks in a mixing bowl and the whites in a clean, dry bowl.
  2. Sift 10 grams of matcha powder over the yolks.
  3. Add 30 to 35 ml of water (milk works too), a little at a time, not all at once. Matcha soaks up liquid, so stir as you go.
  4. Mix until you have a thick, smooth, slightly ribbony green batter.
  5. Add zero-calorie sweetener to the egg whites and whip them with an electric mixer into a thick, glossy meringue that holds its shape.
  6. Gently fold the meringue into the matcha batter with a spatula, until no white streaks are left.
  7. Pour the batter into a small square pan lined with baking paper.
  8. Scatter crushed Oreos over the top for extra crunch.
  9. While you prep, preheat the air fryer. Ours is a steam air fryer with a water tank: fill it, and leave the water in, no need to drain it later.
  10. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 25 minutes. Every air fryer is different, so check it and adjust the time if needed.
  11. Lift the cake out by the paper and let it cool slightly before cutting.

Notes

All amounts, temperatures and times come from our video. The video gives no amount for the sweetener or the Oreos. The air fryer in the video is a steam model with its water tank filled; air fryers vary, so check the cake near the end. The 15 minutes prep is our estimate.
