Matcha Gateau Chocolat is an altered version of gateau chocolat. It has a deep bitterness and sweetness in the cake and it is loved by all! It is also a great gift 🙂
I am a big fan of Matcha! I introduced some of my favorite Matcha recipes in my blog but here is another Matcha dessert idea! Matcha gateau Chocolat is really good dessert. It only needs four ingredients!
What is Matcha gateau Chocolat
Matcha gateau chocolat is not a popular cake in Japan, but, some cake shops in Japan have this cake and it is really good. Matcha gateau chocolat is simply a matcha version of gateau chocolat. Matcha makes it bitter with a richer taste!
What is the difference between Gateau Chocolat and Chocolate Terrine
Both gateau chocolat and chocolate terrine are chocolate cakes and they look similar. However, gateau chocolat uses a circle shape and cake flour(or all-purpose flour), whereas, chocolate terrine uses a rectangle shape and it doesn’t use cake flour(nor all-purpose flour).
These days, the definition of gateau chocolat and chocolate terrine became ambiguous, because of convenience store desserts. Even though there are some differences between them, nowadays, chocolate terrine uses cake flour or is shaped in a circle, and gateau chocolat doesn’t use cake flour or some definitions are ignored. So it is safe to say you can say it is chocolate terrine if the texture is like Nama Choco(melt in your mouth chocolate) and baked cake or cookie texture is gateau chocolat.

Q&A Which Matcha Powder should I get?
I recommend this matcha powder on Amazon!
But if you want to buy it at your local grocery store, just make sure you’re buying ‘MATCHA’ powder not ‘Green tea’. Green tea can be matcha but green tea is a group of all other types of tea such as 煎茶(Zencha)、玉露(Gyokuro)、番茶(Bancha)、抹茶(Matcha)、and 焙じ茶(Hojicha). So it can be Zencha, Gyokuro, or Hojicha. So pick ‘Matcha’ or anything it says ‘for latte’ or ‘smoothie’ .
Tips to Make How to Make Matcha Gateau Chocolat
There are some tips to make tasty Matcha Gateau Chocolat!
1. Use 4 oz ramekins or smaller sizes
Just be careful not to add too much batter in each ramekin to avoid under-baking. I use 4 oz ramekins and add 100ml to 110ml batter to each ramekin.
2. Be careful when you melt white chocolate
When you melt white chocolate, be careful not to get water in the bowl. If water gets in the bowl, the chocolate won’t melt. I melt the chocolate using the double boiling method. First I add water to a medium pot. When the water starts boiling, turn the heat low and place a bowl with the chocolate in it on top. Then stir until the chocolate melts completely.
3. Use a tooth pick to check
After finishing baking, check with a toothpick if the cake is baked inside. If it isn’t cooked, bake another 10 minutes.
