Matcha Glow Cake – Hormone-Loving Power Fresh from the Oven

Your body goes through fascinating hormonal changes throughout the month – and each phase has its own nutrient heroes. This Matcha Glow Cake brings several of them together in one moist, nutrient-rich cake that not only tastes amazing but also supports your female health in a targeted way.

The combination of matcha, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, and silken tofu is a true dream team for hormonal balance, glowing skin, and steady energy.

Why These Ingredients Are So Special

Matcha – Provides gentle, long-lasting energy thanks to the combination of caffeine and L-theanine. Supports the liver in processing hormones and, with its EGCG antioxidants, protects your cells.

Pumpkin Seeds – Rich in zinc and magnesium, important for ovulation quality, nervous system relaxation, and natural progesterone production.

Flaxseeds – Supply you with fiber and plant-based estrogens that gently balance your hormones – perfect for supporting a harmonious cycle.

Silken Tofu – A mild, plant-based protein source that also delivers isoflavones to help stabilize hormonal balance.

These ingredients are especially beneficial in the follicular phase (after menstruation until ovulation), when your body is focused on building, regenerating, and gathering energy.
