*Important Note: It’s pretty essential to use actual matcha green tea powder if you can get your hands on it, since 100% of the color and a lot of the taste comes from it. Just powdering any old green tea will imbue very little green tea flavor or color into the cupcake. Without the green tea powder, this is still a good cake with a great texture, but obviously loses its defining aspect.
For the cake:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 - 3 Tbsp matcha green tea powder*
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 1/2 tsps vanilla extract
1 cup plain yogurt
For the frosting:
8 oz cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup whipping cream
