Best 3 Buttercream Tea Recipes

GREEN TEA CUPCAKES TOPPED WITH GREEN TEA BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with 24 cupcake liners.
• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until thoroughly blended.
• Whisk together the milk and oil, and add to the dry ingredients. Beat for 2 minutes on medium speed. Add the matcha powder, almond extract and eggs and beat again for 2 minutes on medium speed. Pour the batter into the pans, filling three-quarters of the way full. Bake until cakes test done, about 15 minutes. Allow cupcakes to cool completely.
• For the buttercream: Place the butter in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Add one-third of the sugar and blend well. Add in the remaining sugar one-third at a time, blending well between each addition. Add in the milk and matcha powder and beat until light and fluffy.
• To assemble: Add the buttercream to a large pastry bag with a grass tip and pipe in small dollops to resemble grass.

GREEN TEA BUTTERCREAM

Steps:

• Prepare an ice bath. Combine sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat until sugar is dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer syrup to ice bath, stirring occasionally, until syrup is cool to touch, 15 to 20 minutes. (Syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.)
• In an electric mixer, cream butter on medium-high until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. While mixing, slowly add syrup into butter and continue mixing on medium-high until mixture comes together, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Reduce speed to low and add matcha. Store buttercream at room temperature if using the same day, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before using.
