2. 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3. 3 eggs
4. 1 cup granulated sugar
5. 1/2 cup full fat plain yogurt
6. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

5. Add vanilla and yogurt and mix well; gradually add the melted butter and continue to blend until the cake batter is smooth.
6. In a separate bowl, mix the powdered green tea and about a teaspoon of lukewarm water into a paste; if desired, add a tablespoon of cream and continue mixing this into a paste.
7. Add about 1/4 to 1/3 of the cake batter to the green tea mixture; blend until it is a solid green color.
8. Add the green tea batter to the plain batter with a rubber spatula; make 1 or 2 large swirls with the rubber spatula, being careful not to over-do it.
