Green Tea Chiffon Cupcakes with Green Tea Cream Cheese Frosting

Thanks to Kat, I now have an idea where to buy that much elusive Japanese Green Tea powder. Since the Japanese Store in Waltermart Makati is out of my way, my choice would either be Rustan’s, Landmark or Sakura in Glorietta. Luckily, I was able to find one ay Sakura’s! Yey!!! Although, I’m suppose to do just one project this weekend, my eager hands just can’t wait to bake Green Tea Chiffon Cupcakes.

I’ve been toying with the idea of baking cupcakes with a not so “usual” flavor. A green tea flavored one was on the top of my mind. However, I just can’t decide on the frosting. Topping it with a vanilla frosting just won’t do. The lady at Starbucks suggested raspberry syrup with my Green Tea Frappe but somehow I’m not yet that adventurous with my cupcakes. So I decided to ice my green tea mini cupcakes with cream cheese frosting with a bit of green tea powder topped with white chocolate sprinkles. This batch goes straight to Pagudpud. Hope the box would arrive in one piece!
