Vegan Green Tea Cupcakes
28 August, 2007 by halfpintpixie
I just read a great review by Mending Mumma of “Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World” by Isa Chandra Moskowitz of Post Punk Kitchen fame.
While reading the review, I remembered that I had meant to post a picture of the Green Tea cupcakes I made for Mr Halfpintpixie’s 31st birthday “cake”.
The cupcakes were very green tea flavoured, which was an instant hit! They were also deliciously fluffy, which is quite rare in a vegan cupcake, so yay all round!
The green tea powder was impossible to find in this poor provincial town, so a quick search on japanesekitchen.co.uk and there it was, called Uji No Tsuyu: Green Tea Powder (Matcha/Maccha Gold) not cheap at 8.98Stg for 40g but worth it because a little goes a long way… we’re making vegan green tea icecream next!

Looks fantastic! I think I will make some myself and enjoy them with my Japanese Sencha Green Tea from http://www.tealaden.com I wish they would carry the Matcha to make them with.
