Matcha Cupcakes With Chocolate and Heavy Cream Topping

When I first heard about using matcha green tea in different dessert recipes, I was a bit skeptical – combining green tea with different sweet ingredients and creating a dessert? It didn't sound interesting to me. But, I always like to try something new and this sounded like a wonderful challenge.

After trying a couple of recipes, I have to admit – I love the taste of matcha in desserts! It perfectly balances the sugar and gives a perfect aroma I simply can't resist. Besides, matcha is extremely healthy due to its high nutritional content.

These beautiful and simple cupcakes are based on the best high-quality matcha green tea powder, milk, and softened butter. Of course, you can combine matcha green tea with your favorite cupcakes recipe or add different nuts to the batter for even better flavor and crunchy texture.

Whatever you choose, one thing is certain – these beautiful green cupcakes will be ready in no time and the taste will be spectacular. A true life saver for unexpected guests. Serve with my favorite cupcake chocolate topping and enjoy!

For this recipe, I have prepared a lovely green tea ganache. However, if you don't have a lot of time, you can simply top these cupcakes with whipped cream, hot fudge sauce or even sliced fruits. If you decide to try my green tea ganache recipe, you can add a few drops of vanilla or strawberry extract for a beautiful aroma. Have fun!
