Reduce mixer speed to low and add flour, beating until just incorporated. Transfer half the batter (about 1 1/2 cups) to a bowl and stir in cocoa. Add matcha to remaining batter and beat until fully incorporated.
4
Spoon 2 tablespoons of matcha batter into one corner of the prepared pan. Spoon 2 tablespoons of chocolate batter alongside. Repeat procedure, creating a checkerboard pattern with five rows total. Swirl the mixture in a figure-eight pattern a couple of times using a butter knife (don’t swirl too much or the mixture will become muddy). Bake until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, ⏱️ 55 minutes to ⏱️ 1 hour.
5
Let cool in pan on a wire rack ⏱️ 10 minutes, then use paper to lift cake from pan and cool completely on rack.
