Soft and fluffy Matcha Green Tea Cupcakes topped with a white cloud of vanilla whipped cream taste just like a Matcha green tea Frappuccino! These cupcakes are delicate with just enough matcha flavor without being overpowering or bitter.
I remember those hot summer days in college when I would order all these Starbucks Matcha Green Tea Frappuccino. Do they still have that? It was one of my favorite sweet drinks. And these Matcha cupcakes are just like those drinks in cupcake form!
This Matcha cupcakes recipe is one of the very first recipes I’ve developed before I even started this blog. I intended to open up a cupcake shop just like everyone and their grandmas, but that idea never came to fruition. And I’m glad it didn’t, since writing on this blog is way more fun!
What is matcha?
So, what is matcha anyways? If you don’t already know, matcha is green tea leaves ground into a fine powder. But not all green teas are matcha. Matcha is produced from a shade-grown leaf called tencha, that is specifically grown and processed for this purpose.
You can buy matcha at all Japanese grocery stores, as well as pretty much any Asian grocery stores, and even mainstream American supermarkets nowadays. You may find 2 to 3 types of matcha or matcha powder mix at the store:
- Culinary matcha – this is the one we want for cooking and baking.
- Ceremonial matcha – this is more expensive and usually reserved for drinking.
- Matcha latte mix – this is not the one you want because it is usually presweetened and can contain creamer or dry milk. But you don’t need it because making a homemade matcha latte is super easy!
What does matcha taste like?
Good matcha should not be bitter or acidic. Matcha is like freshly cut grass, earthy with a hint of the ocean.
How to make Matcha Cupcakes
Easy matcha green tea cupcake batter
Making matcha cupcake batter (Photos 1 – 4)
- Add all the wet ingredients – buttermilk, oil, egg, vanilla extract – in a large mixing bowl.
- Using a hand whisk, beat until combined. You can use an electric mixer or a stand mixer, but it is not necessary.
- In another bowl, sift flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and baking powder together. Then stir in sugar and salt until well distributed. Add the flour mixture into the liquid mixture.
- Whisk until a smooth batter forms.
Preparing to bake matcha cupcakes (Photos 5 – 6)
- Use a large cookie scoop to divide the cake batter evenly into 12 lined muffin cups.
- Bake at 350°F until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
What type of frosting is best for matcha cupcakes?
Matcha is such a delicate flavor that you don’t want to overpower it with a too strong or too rich frosting. I opted for a light and fluffy whipped cream to top these cupcakes off and a dusting of matcha powder.
Adding whipped cream to the cupcakes (Photos 7 – 9)
- Beat heavy whipping cream with sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Using a stand mixer or an electric mixer here would be wise, but you can certainly make whipped cream by hand.
- When the cupcakes are completely cool, fill a pastry bag fitted with your favorite piping tip and pipe swirls on top of the cupcakes.
- Finish off with a dusting of matcha powder.
My typical whipped cream recipe doesn’t contain a lot of sugar, but I increased the amount of sugar in this recipe just a little bit to make it sweeter, which pairs well with these cupcakes.
But I prefer buttercream frosting…
Even though whipped cream is my preference for these matcha cupcakes. If you want a richer frosting, I would recommend using a not-too-sweet buttercream and flavor it with matcha powder to amp up the matcha flavor even more.
Try one of these buttercream frosting recipes and add up to 1 tablespoon of matcha powder to it.
Do I need to stabilize the whipped cream to use as frosting?
I’ve successfully used whipped cream as frosting for cupcakes many times before without the need to stabilize it. See these Banana Split Cupcakes and these Pina Colada Cupcakes.
But if you want to stabilize your whipped cream, you can add ½ – 1 teaspoon of powder gelatin to the whipped cream.
- Bloom the gelatin in a tablespoon of water
- Microwave until the gelatin dissolves completely
- Mix the gelatin mixture into your whipped cream when it is at soft peaks stage
- Continue whipping until stiff peaks form
Baker’s Tips
- You can use either type of matcha powder in this recipe: culinary or ceremonial. However, it is more economical to use culinary matcha powder meant for cooking and baking.
- Make sure your matcha powder is pure tea powder and not a matcha latte mix, which is usually already sweetened and can contain creamer.
- If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, check out how to make homemade buttermilk.
Storing leftover matcha cupcakes
These cupcakes are best within 1 – 2 days, but you can refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Making ahead
The cupcakes can be made a few days ahead and stored at room temperature for 3 – 5 days without the frosting. They can even be kept frozen for up to 6 months, be sure to wrap them well. Simply thaw them at room temperature and add the frosting when you plan to serve.
Whipped cream is easy to make so I recommend making the whipped cream and topping the cupcakes the day of or just before you plan to serve, especially to save fridge space.

Notes
- Use culinary matcha powder for baking, make sure your matcha powder is pure tea powder and not a matcha powder mix used to make matcha latte.
- The whipped cream will last as long as the cupcakes without any stabilizing agent, but make sure you beat until stiff peaks.
- You can stabilize the whipped cream using ½ - 1 teaspoon of gelatin powder, bloom it in a tablespoon of water, microwave until completely dissolved, and mix this in with the whipped cream while it is at soft peak stage and continue beating until stiff peaks.

12/10 recipe!! I made this for my boyfriend for Valentine’s Day and he said it was the best dessert he’s had!! My entire family loved them as well!! We loved how it wasn’t too sweet and it was so moist and balanced!!
I’m a very very novice baker but all your tips and instructions were super easy to follow!! Thank you!! I’m excited to try more of your recipes!! 🙂
Thank you Isabelle! I’m so glad you tried the recipe and had great success with it. Feel free to let me know if you ever have any questions on any of the recipes you attempt 🙂
Thanks so much for the recipe Trang!
We made this for school’s culture day activity in 2020, and has been our favourite cupcake since!
Your recipe’s ingredients are accessible, steps are written clearly, and couple with the video, it just made it so much easier to do for a first-time baker like me! That’s probably how I’ve decided to try your recipe and it smells so good when it’s baked!
You’re so thoughtful that we might not have buttermilk and provided such an easy homemade solution, so thanks!
No too sweet and the matcha flavour is just amazing! We’re happy with just the cupcake in itself!
It’s now an activity for my daughter and I 🙂
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m glad you decided to try this recipe and continue to use it to bake with your daughter 🙂
Made this for my girlfriend’s birthday and she loved them. They were light and fluffy and the whipped cream paired very well. I used 3/4 the sugar in the cake and full sugar in the cream. The matcha was to my personal taste, but she loves matcha and next time I would try adding 10-25% more. Thanks for the recipe!
I’m glad to hear your gf loved them! Thank you for try the recipe.
im 14 and i made these so many times for my friends and we all love it :))
you should definitely try making these they’re really easy to make and i personally never even made frosting for them cuz its just so good!!!!! thank u for this recipe! <3
Hi Elle, that’s wonderful! I’m so glad you and your friends love these 🙂
I LOVE Green Tea Frappucinos from Starbucks, it’s my favorite drink! So I’ve set out to find a good matcha cupcake, I’ve had them from a Japanese style bakery in the Dallas area. This recipe was so good ! I did use half sour cream and half milk to make my own version of buttermilk as I didn’t have any. My oven temperature is always too hot so I had to drop the temperature down quite a bit and cook slightly longer. They were fluffy, and the icing was so delicious !!!!! Thank you for sharing this ! It was just what I was wanting !
Yay! I’m so happy to hear how much you enjoy these, thank you so much for trying them and for taking the time to leave me a comment, it made my morning 🙂
Hi can i use almond flour in place of APF. If so, what’s the ratio?
Hi Winnie, I haven’t used almond flour in this recipe so I can’t tell you the exact ratio. If you use an all purpose gluten free flour, it is usually a 1:1 ratio, so I would start there. But I can’t guarantee the results.
Hi there
I managed to find out the best flour substitute which is 25% almond flour and 75% APF, replaced vanilla with cinnamon It works out well! The muffins turn out moist and fluffy and the matcha flavour compliments the cinnamon so well!
One thing that baffles me though is that the batter wasn’t enough to fill up all 2/3 of the cavities.My muffins still rise with a nice dome shape but appear small, even on both occasions that I baked. Any idea why is this so?
Hi Winnie, my guess is that because almond flour is gluten free so the batter doesn’t rise as much.
I used 1:1 gluten free flour yesterday and it turned out BEAUTIFULLY. I was so pleased and can’t wait to make this recipe again. My only complaint? The whipped cream recipe wasn’t enough for my liking! I piled those cupcakes HIGH.
I am not a baker by any stretch of the imagination, so I was pleasantly surprised when my first attempt at these cupcakes turned out beautifully! They rose perfectly, lightly cracked on top, and were moist and scrumptious despite the fact that I subbed in GF flour. I am already looking for an excuse to make these again, and if time permits I’ll double the batch!
Thank you Elizabeth and sorry the whipped cream wasn’t enough, definitely should make a double batch of whipped cream then 🙂
Cupcakes came out good but were falling apart, likely due to the amount of oil in this recipe. I think the cupcakes would have been fine with 1/4 cup oil instead of 1/2 cup.
these were wonderful! love the flavor and so moist! i filled half with a pistachio cream filling
I love pistachio, such a great idea!
Can you use regular milk instead of buttermilk? Will it affect the cupcakes at all?
You can use regular milk, but you need to omit the baking soda. It will probably be fine or you can make homemade buttermilk by mixing in lemon juice.
AMAZING recipe and so easy. One mistake I made was overfilling (it clearly tells you not to do this in the recipe but I got overexcited) – these grow a LOT in the oven!
Such fluffy and delicious cupcakes. The cream on top is so light, sweet enough, and complements the matcha so well. Will be making again.
Loved this recipe! The cupcakes turned out super fluffy and sweet with a pleasurable amount of matcha flavor(not bitter and definitely still present). I substituted the veggie oil with canola oil and used a flaxseed egg + apple cider vinegar to make it fluffy. The cupcakes did sink in the middle a bit but I think it’s because I might have overmixed the batter a bit. Overall a great recipe and a new staple in my house! Thanks for sharing 🙂
BEST RECIPE EVER!! I have never ever commented on a recipe but I have to let everyone know how AMAZING this turned out! I woke up early to make this for my family and they couldn’t stop eating them. I substituted the buttermilk for oat milk with apple cider vinegar because its what I had on hand but WOW! To everyone questioning if they should make this or not, MAKE IT, you wont regret it!
Is it normal for the cupcakes to turn brown the day after? They were a very dark green coming out of the oven and the next morning they’ve darkened to a brown with a slightly green tint. They still taste the same but I just wanted to know if it’s happened before
Hmm I’ve never experienced that before… I don’t know if the type of matcha you used might have caused that but mine never changed color like that.
Hi Christine,
I had that happened to me as well. They first time I made this recipe, I used a ceremonial grade matcha powder and it turned out great. As the ceremonial grade match was expensive, I decided to try it with the matcha powder from Costco as comparison. For me, the cupcakes made with the cheap matcha powder from Costco turned the cupcakes brown.
Hi Trang, I made these cupcakes but mine came out domed rather than flat. Any idea how to make them flatter? Thank you!
Did you take a look at the process photo where it shows the cupcakes just came out of the oven, they dome a little bit, not completely flat. If you want flatter, you can reduce the flour a smidge, usually more flour will make it dome more, but be careful when doing that you can cause the cake to fall in the middle if the batter is too liquidy.
I’ve been looking for a good matcha cupcake recipe for so long. This one is the best! So moist. In the UK it is hard to find buttermilk so I used half whole milk and half natural yoghurt as suggested, turned out amazing
Hi Trang, is it possible to replace vegetable oil with butter? If yes, could you please advise the butter quantity? Thank you.
Hi Lorraine, you can replace but vegetable oil will keep the cake more moist, butter will give more flavor but the cupcakes may come out dryer. I would use 2/3 cup of butter and dial back the buttermilk to about 2/3 cup.
These look amazing. Can’t wait to try them and your video is really helpful and super creative too.
Thank you! <3
These are so pretty! I also love to see what kind of vintage Pyrex you are using to mix up your wonderful recipes!
Thank you Maureen! The ones I have are these but I collected them in pieces from different thrift store trips 🙂
I collected most of mine from garage or estate sales. I started a few years before the vintage Pyrex craze so I got lucky! I always love seeing the Pyrex in action!
I absolutely love them for the durability, but they are getting way too expensive to collect now.
Can this recipe be turned into a cake? How long should I bake them for?
Hi Joanne, I haven’t baked this as a cake but I believe other readers have. This should fit two 6” cake pan or one 8” or 9” cake pan. I would say 25 – 30 minutes, but just make sure to check with a toothpick. If you use an 8” cake pan, I would check around 30 minutes. If you use 6”, probably check around 20-25 minutes.
Was craving for something matcha-infused and chanced upon this recipe. I’m so glad I did because this is by far the best muffins (I skipped the frosting) I’ve ever made and will keep! Thank you for this, Trang. Excited to experiment with your other recipes 🙂
Changes I made to the recipe due to what I have and/or prefer:
– same amount of cake flour instead of all-purpose flour
– same amount of melted unsalted butter instead vegetable oil
– 75g natural yoghurt and 100g heavy cream instead of milk
– skipped the baking soda since I didn’t have any
Thank you Sewy! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe 🙂
Can we convert this into a cake? If yes, what size of the pan? And how many cups can we make in this recipe?
I have not baked this into a cake, but I think you will be able to fit this into an 8″ round cake pan. Bake time will be different, I don’t know exactly but I’m going to guess 25 – 30 minutes. I’m not sure what you mean by how many cups, are you asking how many cups of batter? I don’t know because I never measure out the batter into cups before. If you want to make 2 layers, you might try doubling the recipe.
I baked this in a normal sized loaf pan. I made no adjustments to the recipe & it worked out just fine, though if I had used 1,5 the amount it would have yielded a better height for the cake I think.
This cupcake was SUPER fluffy! The most fluffiest cupcake I’ve ever eaten! I made this without the frosting because we didn’t have any heavy cream at the time, but tastes delicious without it.
Baked these for a party with a matcha-lover host – an excellent recipe! The cake is pillowy but sturdy enough to hold a generous amount of topping (I used a heavy cream cheese-based frosting).
I also added an extra 1.5 tsp of matcha but even without I imagine the flavor is plenty!
Hey Trang, thanks for the recipe. It turned out great! But the story first… I’d been eyeing this recipe for awhile and when I finally started making it I realized I didn’t have whole milk or buttermilk — only oat milk and condensed milk. I added 1 tbsp of lemon juice to the oat milk . Then I realized I didn’t have any more white granulated sugar — only soft dark brown sugar. Since I had condensed milk, I only used a 1/2 cup of sugar.
I couldn’t believe it worked! I also toasted then ground up some black sesame with honey into a sort of paste/butter and when filling up the muffin tin, sandwiched it in between two spoonfuls of matcha batter.
The tops turned out crispy like muffins and the texture was really moist and perfectly sweet!
I skipped the cream since hubby and I have been eating too many treats since quarantine. It was still a wonderful recipe and I’ll try it again (maybe even with the cream) when I have all the proper ingredients 🙂 Thank you!
You are amazing! That black sesame paste sounds like a wonderful addition too. Thanks for trying the recipe and I’m so happy you guys enjoyed it 🙂
Made these for a friend’s birthday and they came out great! The recipe is so simple, took very little time to make, and they taste good! Love the soft and light texture in particular. My friend was very impressed and it made her day. Thank you for sharing the recipe Trang!
Thank you Martina! I’m so glad your friend enjoyed it for her birthday, you’re such a wonderful friend 🙂
Just made these for a friend and WOW they are so melt-in-your-mouth good!!!!! Not too sweet, the matcha comes right through and they are perfect for a quick breakfast snack haha! I used a Chantilly cream w/ mascarpone instead of normal whipped cream and it really upped the experience. I can’t wait to keep making this recipe. It’s definitely a new favorite!
Thank you so much Trang for sharing the matcha cupcake recipe. I love matcha. Your cupcake recipe is flavorful and moist. So good! This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thank you again for sharing it.
Thank you Elisa, happy to hear you liked it!
I’m so glad I found this recipe!! I made these twice already! Everyone loved them! My sister said it’s the best matcha cupcake she’s ever had! Second time trying I used organic coconut oil instead of vegetable oil. Came out perfect!! I love the fact that it’s not too sweet! Will be using this recipe forever!! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Trang for developing and posting this delightful and easy to make recipe! This has quickly become my go to recipe for cupcakes and I love the matcha flavor in baked goods! I appreciate your hard work and recipes!
Thank you so much Jennifer! Your kind comment really made my day 🙂
hello, is the batter not liquidy?
Hi Kyla, I actually happen to remake this recipe today and the batter is not liquidy at all. It isn’t thick, and when you scoop it into the cupcake pan, it drips, but it is definitely not liquidy.
My batter is super liquidy! Is there something I am doing wrong?
Hi Trishia, did you end up baking them? The batter is going to be somewhat liquidy, it is not a thick batter. Did you watch the video to see if the consistency of your batter matches?
These cupcakes were amazing! I love matcha flavored desserts and have been on the hunt for a good cake/cupcake recipe. This recipe was perfect!! I upped the amount of matcha by 1.5 tsp because I wanted a stronger flavor and it worked perfectly. Instead of the whipped cream icing I went with a vanilla buttercream and lightly dusted some matcha powder on top. These were delicious, thanks for the amazing recipe!
Thank you so much Catherine!
Hi if I don’t have egg, is possible to do the cupcake??
Hi Susan, unfortunately I don’t think it will work, you need the egg to give the cupcakes structure.
These are SO good. I love matcha everything. These have the perfect sweetness and matcha combined. I’m so glad I found your blog, and I’m looking forward to making lots of things using your recipe!
Thank you so much Jennifer! Glad you enjoy it!
Great recipe! The store was out of baking powder and whipping cream. So, I substituted buttermilk + baking soda for baking powder and the cupcakes still turned out great! I tried substituting half and half + butter for the whipping cream, but it wouldn’t whip :'( So I had a frosting-less cupcake, but still tasty nonetheless and definitely better for my health xD
Aww, I’m sorry you couldn’t find whipping cream. If you still want to add frosting, you can check out my swiss buttercream or American style buttercream, they both aren’t too sweet. But I’m glad you like the cupcakes still 🙂
I absolutely loved how they turned out! I made these for my mama because she loves green tea and she loved them. I’m not a baker so I wasn’t so sure if they would turn out well since a lot of things were new to me. Ofc they turned out good though! They would’ve been better if I could actually frost things properly but oh well, practice makes perfect😂
I’m so happy to hear that your mom loves them! As long as they taste good, that’s all that matters 🙂
These cupcakes didn’t rise for me unfortunately. 🙁
Not sure if it is because I used coconut oil as my vegetable oil or perhaps over mixed. I used an electric mixer.
What is the consistency of the batter supposed to look like? Mine was quite runny.
Oh no, I’m sorry it didn’t rise. Hmm if you use the same amount of coconut oil, I would think it should work but I’ve never made it with coconut oil before. Overmixing can put too much air into the batter, the cupcakes will over-rise and then collapse in the oven, that sounds like it could be the problem. I can’t remember exactly the consistency of the batter since I haven’t made this recipe in a while… Some cupcake recipe can be quite runny when made with oil. If you try this recipe again, try it without the electric mixer, I always make cupcake batter by hand, also to be on the safe side, reduce the baking soda by half to reduce over-rising. I hope you try it again, and let me know.
Bad leavening was probably the culprit.
This recipe is excellent – thank you so much for sharing! 🙂
I’m just wondering.. Would I be able to substitute the Matcha powder for Lavender (for the cake) and earl grey tea (for the frosting)? I was thinking of using this recipe to make lavender cupcakes with earl grey whipped cream frosting, since the Matcha cupcakes were so, so good. I tried a different lavender and earl grey cupcakes recipe, but it didn’t turn out great.
Are you planning to put crushed lavender into the batter? Lavender is very strong, so I would be careful not to use too much. I don’t really know how much to use, but definitely not a straight substitution with the matcha powder. I believe there is lavender extract if you want to make it with an extract. You may have to test it out to see what the perfect amount is either way. As for the whipped cream, you could try steeping the earl grey tea in hot cream, then you must let it cool and refrigerate until cold before whipping. Come back and let me know if it works!
Hi, my first time checking your website so I decided to make this recipe and I just Loved it!!!!! The cupcakes are so moist and the flavor of the matcha is perfect!! Well maybe because my sister brought me the matcha I used from Japan!! I think I`m gonna use this recipe for all the recipes, so I just have to change the flavor… Do you think I can do that? For example for the red velvet I added the vinegar and change the matcha for the chocolate??
I actually have a red velvet recipe if you want to check that out. The vinegar is not there to impart any flavor, it’s used in conjunction with baking soda to create lift/rise in the cupcakes. You can use the recipe and change to your liking if it’s just something simple like changing out the matcha powder for some other powder. Just keep in mind that each powder for flavoring has different strength and taste so what you get with the matcha powder may not be the same for others. For example, if you are to use it to make a chocolate cupcakes, it would be very bland because you’ll need a lot more cocoa powder to get a deep chocolate flavor. Feel free to browse around though, I have a lot of different flavor cupcakes if you’d like to try. 🙂
Solid recipe! I used cake flour and a buttermilk sub (whole mik and vinegar). My cupcakes have a nice, moist crumb and rose well. I will probably increase the matcha next time because I like a stronger matcha flavor. Overall, I was pleased with my results and will definitely make these again.
Excellent, thanks for the feedback Vanessa!
I made these again yesterday. I used AP flour, whole milk + lemon juice, and increased the matcha by 1-1.5 tsp. They were perfect! Everyone gobbled them up. Going to make another batch soon.
Thanks Vanessa! I’m happy to hear everyone loved them 🙂
Hi Trang, can I substitute butter milk with whole milk? Thanks!
Buttermilk is usually thicker than whole milk, so I wouldn’t substitute directly. You can try one of these:
1. You can try adding lemon juice or vinegar to whole milk to make a buttermilk substitute, usually 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk.
2. Try mixing half milk half plain yogurt or sour cream.
I think one of these will make good substitute but keep in mind I haven’t used them before, so forgive me if they don’t work perfectly.
Can I use cake flour for this with the same measurement?
Yes Kimberly, you should be able to.
Can you use this to make a cake?
Hi Chris, you sure can. Although I’ve never made a cake with this recipe so I don’t know what size it will be, but probably a small 2-layer cake. You will need to adjust the baking time when baking in a larger pan. It will take longer so just watch it so it doesn’t burn.
