Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and fully line two 7.75 x 3.75-inch loaf pans with parchment.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk both sugars and wet ingredients together.
  3. Add the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, matcha powder, and malt powder directly into the same bowl.
  4. Whisk just until fully combined and no dry streaks remain. Do not over mix.
  5. Divide evenly between prepared pans and smooth the tops flat.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes, tenting loosely with foil if needed once the tops are set and lightly colored.
  7. The loaves are done when a tester inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool in the pans for 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  9. Prepare the glaze by whisking all ingredients.
  10. Pour glaze over warm loaves; cover all sides.
  11. Chill until glaze is completely set.
