Green tea uses in chiffon comes in powder type and has a very fragrant tea smell to it. It is not hard to find but costs quite a lot ( for me and as some bakers i now in my country as in another countries) but it is worth to buy because of it nice smell and also very healthy for our body so green tea always is one of my favorite flavor when it comes to baking a cake.
This recipe especially added in honey and even thought i couldn't smell the honey scent but i am very sure that it gave out a very nice natural sweetness to the cake so this cake is a perfect combination of green tea and honey.
Anyway, here is the recipe that i have always followed for making this delectable cake :
