Time 40m

Yield 16 cupcakes, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup almond meal
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 teaspoons matcha green tea powder
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup almond milk (you could use soy, rice, or coconut)
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons almond extract
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup refined coconut oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons almond extract
4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup water
sliced almonds (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Cakes:.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line and grease a 12-cup cupcake pan, you may need another pan for additional batter.
  • Whisk together flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, green tea powder, and sugar in large bowl.
  • Combine oil, milk, vanilla, almond extract, and vinegar in a separate bowl.
  • Add the wet mixture to dry and mix using a whisk. Don't mix until completely smooth. Lumps are good.
  • Fill the cups 3/4 full and bake for about 15 minutes until edges just barely begin to brown. Cool.
  • Frosting:.
  • Using a mixer, beat the coconut oil, vanilla, and almond extracts until combined.
  • Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time. The mixture will be crumbly.
  • Add water little by little until you reach the desired frosting consistency. YOU MAY NOT NEED TO USE ALL THE WATER.
  • Frost the cakes and decorate. For large cupcakes I made an almond flower and for the small ones I used two slices oriented vertically to like almost like two leaves.
  • Try not to eat all at once!

I was a bit skeptical about the green tea and almond combination, but these cupcakes were surprisingly delicious. The flavors were well-balanced and the cupcakes were moist and fluffy.

These cupcakes were amazing! The green tea flavor was subtle and the almond flavor was just right. The cupcakes were moist and fluffy, and the frosting was light and airy. I will definitely be making these again.

I'm not a big fan of green tea, but I really enjoyed these cupcakes. The almond flavor was really nice and balanced out the green tea flavor. The cupcakes were also very moist and fluffy.
