This recipe was made when I tried to make Matcha Cupcakes with chopped Muscovado Block, which I call ‘Kurozatō’ (黒砂糖) in Japanese. I couldn’t find it in Melbourne where I live. Then I thought about Dates. Dates have similar colour and similar flavour to Muscovado. The result was very satisfying. Matcha and Dates are a good match.
