Delicious matcha cupcakes with coconut cream

Do you already use matcha for baking? That's the nice thing about matcha: the green powder is extremely versatile. You drink it pure, as a matcha latte , you add it to smoothies and yogurt or you use it for the most delicious creations.

I love working in the kitchen on weekends. And this time I decided to make tasty matcha cupcakes, because these are loved by young and old. Occasionally we can enjoy sweets, especially if you combine this with the healthy benefits of matcha. ;-)

Supplies

For the cupcakes

• 1 tablespoon of matcha powder
• 1.2 dl coconut milk
• A little salt
• 1 egg
• 60 grams of butter
• 125 grams of flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 175 grams of granulated sugar

For the cream with matcha

• 250 grams of powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon of matcha powder
• 1 tablespoon of coconut cream
• 5 tablespoons (unsalted) butter
• Sprinkles as decoration

Preparation

1. Start by preheating the oven (at 180 degrees). Put paper cases in a plate (with cavities for the cakes).
2. Take the butter and sugar, beat with a mixer until soft. Then add the egg and beat it until soft.
3. Take the flour, baking powder, salt and matcha powder and sift together.
4. Then add the dry ingredients to the batter and mix well. Then gently and little by little beat the coconut milk into the mixture.
5. Add the batter to the molds and let it bake for about 15-20 minutes. Check if they have risen well and then let them cool down.
6. Meanwhile you start on the cream. Add the icing sugar, butter and matcha powder to a bowl and beat until soft. Then add the coconut cream at low speed and beat it smooth at high speed.
7. When the cakes have cooled down, use a piping bag for the matcha cream. Then add sprinkles or other decoration for a nice effect.
