Matcha cupcakes bring a refined Japanese touch to Western pastry.
Their vibrant green color immediately catches the eye, while their bittersweet flavor and soft texture delight from the first bite.
Easy to make at home, they can be enjoyed as a snack or dessert, paired with a Japanese green tea or a light coffee.
Ingredients
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 170°C.
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Mix the dry ingredients
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and matcha.
Prepare the batter
- In a bowl, beat the butter and sugar until the mixture is creamy and light.
- Add the egg and mix well.
- Incorporate half of the dry ingredients, then half of the milk. Mix gently.
- Add the remaining dry ingredients and milk, and mix until a smooth batter is formed.
Baking
- Divide the batter into 6 molds.
- Bake in the oven at 170°C for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Since matcha tends to brown quickly, check the baking after 10 minutes. If the top colors too quickly, lower the temperature slightly.
- Check for doneness with a toothpick: it should come out clean.
Finishing touches
- Let the cupcakes cool down.
- Decorate as desired: whipped cream, fresh fruit… A dusting of matcha powder on top will make them look even more elegant.
✨ Tip
Do not overbake in order to preserve the beautiful green color and the aroma of the matcha. These cupcakes are perfect for a tea break or to surprise your guests!
