Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups self-rising flour, sifted
  • 180 ml cold green tea
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder

Method

  • cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy; add eggs until well-incorporated. alternate folding in the flour and adding the cold tea into the mixture. stir until smooth, adding enough powdered matcha to reach a jade-coloured batter, or whatever shade you prefer. be careful adding more than a few tablespoonfuls as it can get quite bitter the darker you go.
  • fill paper-lined muffin tins and bake in a 350°F preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • cool completely before frosting.
