Japanese Matcha Doughnut Recipe ( 抹茶ドーナツ )

TRADITIONAL JAPANESE RECIPE: Have you ever drunk Matcha Tea? Is a bit like Green Tea but so much better, as it doesn't have that bitterness Green Tea is famous for.

Dounghnuts are quite famous in Japan, thanks to shops like Mr. Donuts, a chain present in almost all stations in Tokyo.

One thing this chain does is backing a lot of Doughnuts. Baked Doughnuts do not taste like fried Doughnuts, so don't expect that. The problem is that you don't really want to deep fry Matcha, do you? The texture is more like a Cake and it's very moist.
