Choco Matcha Cupcakes

Chocolate + Matcha (Green Tea) = DELICIOSO! Made this cupcake as an experiment.. but turned out, it was NICE.. it's 2 layers cupcake, the bottom is dark chocolate and top layer is matcha. The recipe was a modification from Steamed Brownies (Brownies Kukus) ala Bunda Inong with additional of matcha powder. The recipe is below

Taste not sweet, with smell of the matcha, it would be a perfect company for tea break :)
