Matcha Green Tea Cupcakes
This is the matcha version of"Moist Kinako Cupcakes." The ingredient amounts are different, so I made a separate recipe.
I recommend using caster sugar (superfine sugar) or powdered sugar. Regarding cornstarch: according to my references, 2 tablespoons is 12 g (or for 6 cupcakes), and 1 tablespoon is 6 g (or for 3). I thought it might be easier to measure with a measuring spoon, so I thought I'd note that information. If the amount is a bit off (10 g or 5 g) it's OK. If you don't want to brown the cakes too much, cover the tops with foil about 10 minutes into the baking time. Adjust the time depending on how big the cupcakes are (the timing here is for 100 ml cupcakes). I think the cakes should be delicious with sesame seeds. For 6 or 3 100 ml muffin cups worth.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preparation: Put butter in a bowl and bring to room temperature. Sift the ◎ ingredients together. Bring the egg(s) to room temperature too.
- 2
Whisk butter until smooth. Add sugar in 2 to 3 batches, mixing well between additions.
- 3
Beat the egg well and add to the butter little by little Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C.
- 4
Add the ◎ dry ingredients in 2 to 3 batches, cutting in with a rubber spatula.
- 5
Divide the batter evenly in lined muffin cups, and smooth out the surface.
- 6
If you are adding toppings, put them on now. Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes.
- 7
If a skewer inserted in the middle comes out without raw batter on it, the cupcakes are done. Cover loosely with plastic wrap while the cupcakes are still warm, let cool and serve.
- 8
If adding chestnuts: Brush the tops with the syrup the chestnuts are packed in. When I use chestnuts, I reduce the sugar in the batter a little, but that's up to you.
- 9
Cherry blossom version: I tried using salt preserved cherry blossoms in the spring, and they were delicious - I recommend them. De-salt the cherry blossoms first, and top on the cupcakes in Step 6.
- 10
To add anko (not listed): Make small balls of anko using plastic wrap, and partially freeze. Drop into the the batter and bake. I received feedback from users and it looked delicious, so I tried it myself.
- 11
Wrap to give as gifts. I think the cupcakes taste better and are moist after a day. You can freeze them too.
- 12
Bonus: You can add green tea liqueur too. Add liqueur after Step 1. Mix in the ◎ ingredients first, to prevent the batter from separating. You can also sprinkle a little liqueur on the cakes after baking.
- 13
Bonus: I topped the cupcakes with adzuki bean flavored round chocolates from Hokkaido that my friend sent me. I used mini-cupcakes (35 ml), and baked for 11 minutes or so.
- 14
Bonus: I topped the cupcakes with my favorite "Kinako chocolate black beans" from Ugetsu. After letting the cupcakes cool for a day, the black bean becomes soft and is a nice accent. I recommend this if you can get these chocolates.

Matcha Green Tea Macarons Matcha Green Tea Macarons
I love macarons. My husband was going to get them for me for White Day, but it seems they were sold out. I was really sad and disappointed. I had a few eggs left over, so I tried making them myself for the first time in a long time. Making macarons is certainly fun, so I quickly became addicted to making them.This is my method for easy-to-make, moderately sweet and unassuming macarons. I've tried to write each step in as much detail as possible. The most important point is the state of your egg whites and the status of the finished macaronage. Not doing enough macaronage or doing too much will make a difference in the final product so please be careful. You can make the macaron sandwiches with whatever kind of filling you like. I like butter cream macaron sandwiches. For fifteen 3.5 cm [1.4 in]. diameter macarons. Recipe by Yukiline -

Roll Cake Matcha Green Tea with Adzuki Cream Roll Cake Matcha Green Tea with Adzuki Cream
I wanted to bake a perfect roll cake without having to use fresh Caspian Sea yogurt.Dairy-based heavy cream tends to get too thick so I recommend a vegetable-based one. Boiled adzuki beans range in water content depending on the manufacturer, so if yours seem a bit runny, give them a boil in a pan and allow them to cool before adding to the cream. You could also use tsubu-an (chunky anko). Recipe by Pekuchin
