Time 1h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
¾ cup dark cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup almond milk
½ cup canola oil
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon green tea powder (matcha)
½ teaspoon almond extract
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon almond milk, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place liners into a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Sift flour mixture into another bowl and sift again back to the first bowl. Add almond milk, oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract and beat using an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Fill each lined muffin cup 1/3 full of batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • While cupcakes are baking, sift confectioners' sugar into a bowl and add matcha powder. Whisk together to blend. Add almond extract and vanilla extract and stir to combine. Mix in almond milk 1 teaspoon at a time using a whisk or spoon until icing reaches a good spreading consistency.
  • Allow cupcakes to cool completely before icing, about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Make sure your matcha powder is of good quality and has a vibrant green color. This will ensure that your icing has a rich, matcha flavor.
  • Use a fine mesh sieve to sift the matcha powder before adding it to the other ingredients. This will help to prevent any lumps from forming.
  • If you don't have a fine mesh sieve, you can use a blender to grind the matcha powder into a fine powder.
  • Start with a small amount of matcha powder and gradually add more until you reach the desired flavor.
  • If you want a sweeter icing, you can add more maple syrup or agave nectar. You can also add a pinch of salt to help balance out the sweetness.
  • This icing can be used to frost cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and other desserts. It can also be used as a filling for macarons or tarts.

Conclusion:

Vegan matcha icing is a delicious and versatile way to add a touch of matcha flavor to your favorite desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you are a vegan or not, you will love this icing.
