Indulge in matcha's sweet, earthy notes with these unique cupcakes. Elevate plain vanilla with vibrant green tea powder, a versatile ingredient with a rich history in Japanese tradition. Impress guests with the eye-catching sage-green hue of these easy-to-make treats.
Ingredients:
  • 125g butter, at room temperature, chopped
  • 150g (2/3 cup) caster sugar
  • 17.60 gm vanilla extract
  • 20.00 ml matcha powder
  • 225g (1½ cups) self-raising flour
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) milk
  • 250g butter, at room temperature, chopped
  • 525g (3 ½ cups) icing sugar mixture
  • 40.00 ml matcha powder
  • 41.20 gm milk
Instructions:
  • 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan forced. Line twelve 1/3 cup capacity muffin pans with paper cases. 2. Beat butter and sugar until pale and creamy using electric beaters. 3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. 4. Beat in vanilla and matcha powder.
  • Fold half of the flour into the mixture, followed by the milk, and then the remaining flour. Distribute the batter evenly into paper cases. Bake for 20 minutes or until the tops spring back when gently touched. Cool the cupcakes on a wire rack.
  • For the buttercream, whip the butter and sugar with electric beaters until creamy. Gradually mix in the icing sugar one large spoonful at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate the matcha powder, milk, and vanilla and transfer the mixture to a piping bag with a fluted nozzle to decorate the cooled cupcakes.
