Green Tea Cupcakes

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these absolutely gorgeous cupcakes:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp matcha green tea powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup buttermilk

Instructions

Alright, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes. Make sure to get in there with a good whisk or mixer!
  4. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the matcha powder and vanilla extract—let that flavor explode!
  5. Next, alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk into the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour. Mix just until combined. Don’t overmix it, we want it light and fluffy!
  6. Scoop the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.

Finishing Touch

Once cooled, you can frost these beauties with a light buttercream or even a cream cheese frosting for an extra tangy kick. These Green Tea Cupcakes are not just a feast for the eyes but also a delightful treat for your taste buds. Enjoy every bite and impress your friends with this unique dessert!
