Yield Makes 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup cake flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
5 teaspoons matcha, plus more for garnish
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk, room temperature
Green Tea Ganache
Green Tea Buttercream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. In a small bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and matcha.
  • In an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add egg and mix on medium until combined, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture and then milk, mixing until just combined.
  • Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each about halfway. Bake, rotating halfway through, until cupcakes spring back to touch and a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 16 minutes. Let cool in tin 5 minutes, then transfer cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Fill a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip (Ateco #801) with green tea ganache. Pipe about 1 tablespoon ganache into center of each cupcake. (Reserve leftover ganache to decorate cupcakes.) Fill another pastry bag fitted with a large plain-round tip (Ateco #809) with green tea buttercream. Pipe a dollop of buttercream onto top of each cupcake. Sift a small amount of matcha onto half of each cake. Pipe a squiggle on each cupcake using reserved ganache. Store cupcakes overnight in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
