Servings: 6 cupcakes
Calories: 394kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup cake flour
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons matcha powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons of dry milk powder
Frosting: (Make about 2 cups frosting)
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder
- 1 cup salted butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- roasted almond slices for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition with an electric mixer at high speed.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder (not baking soda), and matcha powder in a separate bowl.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, until everything is combined.
- Divide the cupcake batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin cup for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can decorate the cupcakes with a frosting of your choice, such as a cream cheese frosting, whipped cream frosting, or buttercream frosting (this is what I used). Enjoy your delicious and flavorful matcha cupcakes!
