Instructions
Making Light, Moist Matcha Cupcakes is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to create your delicious treats:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
5. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the milk and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
6. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Fill Cupcake Liners: Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Frosting (Optional): Once cooled, top with whipped cream or your favorite frosting if desired.
