Green tea mini pound cake with cheese

 I got this pan for almost 1 year, but never had a chance to use it ^^".

It's small and cute, with this small portion, it's good when you use it to make something that's rich in taste. It's the reason, why I choose to bake this full flavour matcha cake into this pan. If you love matcha I think you will love this cake. It's packed with load of matcha (one and a half tablespoon for this little cake!!!!), and to make it more interesting, there are small little pieces of salty cheese and sweet dried cranberry too. 
I use snow brand 6p processed cheese in this recipe, but any mild flavour cheese is OK (such as mild cheddar or tasty). If you can't find the same pan as mine, you can use  16 x 6.5 cm pan instead. Feel free to choose other kind of dried fruit, it's your cake anyway, hehe.
