Simple Green Tea Cake

The oven at my house has a weird quirk. It auto-fluctuates temperature. Like how women auto-fluctuate their emotions. It's cute but sadly, it has cost me many failed recipes. My oven may auto-fluctuate but one thing's for sure, I'm not giving up.

I stuck to my gut and made a simple recipe(in case it goes bad again), a green tea pound cake. With only 6 ingredients to mix, this indeed, is a piece of cake. Best of all, it tastes great.
