Preparation steps
1.
Preheat oven to 180°C (approximately 350°F). Grease ramekins well with butter and sprinkle with flour.

For the cakes, beat butter, sugar and salt until creamy and gradually add eggs. Rinse woodruff, shake dry, pluck leaves and chop finely. Mix flour, matcha, baking soda and sweet woodruff. Add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with milk and stir until smooth. Fill ramekins about 2/3 full with batter and bake 20-25 minutes. Cakes will fall as they cool. Place cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
