My initial attempt at baking green tea cupcakes was far from a success mostly because I used the wrong matcha. Finding matcha powder in itself was a hard enough task; at first the only matcha I found came in tea bags from Whole Foods. Bad idea! The cupcakes werent terrible, but they also didnt have the matcha flavor I wanted to emphasize.
Feeling a bit unsatisfied with the first batch (made in Boston last wknd), I decided a re-try this morning. Instead of matcha buttercream frosting, I opted for a light cream cheese frosting with powdered sugar. I baked and frosted seven matcha green tea cupcakes from scratch, and this time, I was satisfied!
