Vegan Green Tea Cupcakes



Ingredients:
1/2 cup soy yogurt
2/3 rice milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup canola oil
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour (I prefer whole wheat pastry flour)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3-4 teaspoons matcha tea powder (the expensive shit not the stuff cut w/sugar)
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar

1.) Preheat oven to 350, line cupcake pan with liners
2.) Mix the wet ingredients together.
3.) Mix the dry goods together thoroughly, and add to the wet goods.
4,) Fill liners 2/3 of the way and bake for 20+ minutes

Green Tea Icing:
2 tablespoons margarine
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/8-1/4 teaspoon matcha powder
1-2 tablespoons rice milk
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Drop of vanilla extract

réunissez alors

A good variation is replacing the matcha with a 1/3 cup cocoa powder and toping the cake off with a chocolate ganache.
