4. in a large bowl, combine the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and matcha.
5. in a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, orange zest, lemon zest, honey, coconut oil, yogurt, orange juice, and vanilla extract.
6. add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients and fold until well combined.
7. pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it into an even layer. tap the pan on the counter/table a few times to get rid of any air bubbles.
8. bake for 20 minutes. remove from the oven and carefully transfer the cake out of the pan onto a cooking rack. set it aside until completely cooled.
9. once cooled, transfer the cake onto a place or cake stand and layer the top evenly with the prepared frosting (you may end up with leftover frosting). place the cake back into the refrigerator uncovered for at least 10 minutes or until the frosting sets more.
10. garnish with lemon slices, orange slices, and chamomile flowers if desired.
