Matcha, is basically green tea, which might sound a bit weird if you’re not familiar with it as an ingredient. I mean, green tea cupcakes don’t sound particularly appetizing and if you have an aversion to green tea as some people do then this whole recipe might not appeal. Regardless, I urge you to stay with me here because I am so confident that you will like these cupcakes that I’m willing to go out on a limb by saying they are the best cupcakes I've ever tasted. That is a bold claim, I know, but I really do mean it. These cupcakes will convert all those cupcake and matcha naysayers – of that I am sure.

Just so you know, texturally, they are denser than your typical cupcake but that is a good thing in my opinion. Not forgetting the frosting – ah, the frosting! Yep, I’m going to wax lyrical about the frosting too. Seriously, seriously great. You might think matcha on matcha is a bit too much matcha (that’s a mouthful and it was!) then think again because you can never have too much matcha.
