Frankenstein Green Tea Cupcakes
Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Muffin tin
- Whisk
- Wire rack
Ingredients
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 8 candy eyes
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with 4 paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg until combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until no dry streaks remain.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 4 liners and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cupcakes completely on a wire rack.
- In a small bowl, beat the powdered sugar and softened butter until smooth to make the frosting.
- Spread or pipe the frosting on each cooled cupcake.
- Press two candy eyes into the frosting on each cupcake.
- Drizzle or pipe the melted chocolate chips to form hair across the top and two small bolts on the sides.
Notes
Use a slightly thicker frosting so the candy eyes stay in place without sliding. If the matcha flavor tastes too mild, add an extra ¼ teaspoon to the batter next time. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
