Green Tea Spongy Cupcakes

Another green tea bakes fresh from my oven - Green Tea Spongy Cupcakes. 

I simply love to fill my house with green tea aroma.:) These little green cuppies are light, soft and full of green tea taste that has a calm-down effect on me. 

Green Tea Spongy Cupcakes

Ingredients:

• 95g cake flour
• 5g green tea powder
• 3 eggs, room temperature
• 70g caster sugar
• 20g unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons fresh milk

Method:

1. Sift cake flour and green tea powder together, set aside. 
2. Line 12 cup cake liners in the baking trays. Preheat oven to 170 degree C.
3. With an electric mixer, whisk eggs and sugar on HIGH speed for about 5 to 7 mins, until the batter double in volume and is ribbon-like (the beater should leave a ribbon-like trail when the batter is lifted up). Turn down to Low speed and whisk for another 1 to 2 mins. This is to helps to stabilise the air bubbles in the batter.
4. Add sifted cake flour mixture into the batter in 3 separate additions. Gently fold in the flour with a spatula each time the flour is added. Take care not to deflate the batter.
5. Add the melted butter, fold with spatula until well blended.
6. Add in fresh milk and fold in gently with spatula.
7. Pour the batter into the cup cake liners and bake for 18 mins. Transfer to rack and let cool.
