Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F

Step 2

Add the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Then, add the liquid ingredients and mix the ingredients together until combined. (Do not overmix the batter.)

Step 3

Pour the matcha cupcake batter into each muffin tin opening and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cupcake comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Step 4

Top with your favorite frosting or whipped cream, and enjoy!

Step 5

Start by pureeing fresh strawberries in the blender until smooth. You will need about ⅓ cup for this recipe.

Step 6

Then, add the butter and powdered sugar and blend/mix until fully incorporated. Add in the strawberry puree and blend until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. If it is too thick, add in a bit more strawberry puree.

Step 7

You can transfer the strawberry buttercream into the fridge to firm up a bit. Or, you can transfer the buttercream to a pastry bag right away and begin decorating your cupcakes.
