Featured Video: How To Make Vanilla Buttercream Frosting PLUS How To Decorate Cupcakes

When I made my Matcha Chiffon Cake, I was a little bit hesitant to make it. I haven’t used Matcha Green Tea flavor for pastries, neither have I tried the drink itself. This is the reason why I decided to make my Matcha Chiffon Cake a small batch recipe. Surprisingly, I ended up liking it and it only took 2 days before the the entire cake was finished, so in the end, no regrets.

The Matcha Chiffon Cake was my inspiration for this cupcake recipe, aside from the fact that I have lots of matcha green tea that I have to use.

This is a good recipe to try if you are hesitant to try matcha flavor because this is a small batch recipe. This cupcake turned out better than expected. It’s so creamy and the flavor of the matcha is just right. If you are up to new and exciting flavor, this one is for you. It very quick and simple. Let’s get started!
