  3. Add room temperature eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition for 30 seconds.
  4. Sift matcha powder, baking powder, and all-purpose flour over the wet mixture and gently fold in using a spatula.
  5. Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, folding gently until just combined.
  6. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
