Instructions
Preheat that oven to 350°F (175°C). And don’t forget to grease your 9x13 inch baking dish—no one wants cake stuck to the pan!
Dump that vanilla cake mix into the dish. Yes, literally dump it in.
Mix together the whole milk, heavy cream, matcha powder, sugar, and vanilla extract until it’s smooth and velvety. Pour this green goodness over the cake mix.
Sprinkle white chocolate chips and drop little dollops of sweet red bean paste over the top. Channel your inner artist.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cake is set. Resist the urge to peek too much—it’s doing its thing in there.
