Easy, tasty matcha green tea yogurt cakes

I've never eaten or made a yogurt cake before.  I found a recipe for green tea yogurt cupcakes on Little Corner of Mine.  The recipe looked so easy, that I had to try it out.  The result came out delicious!  Very easy to make. And very tasty!  Sweet, fluffy, moist. Delicious! And a lovely, light green color.  I made cupcakes and mini bundt cakes. 


Substitutions: I used vanilla flavored yogurt instead of plain yogurt to add a little bit of extra sweetness.  Also I added another teaspoon of matcha green tea to ensure that the end result would be green. Here is my modified recipe for cupcakes:

Yield:  Approximately 15 cupcakes

Ingredients
(A)
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
2 tsp. matcha green tea powder
(B)
1 6oz container vanilla yogurt
3 large eggs, whisk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup canola oil

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350'F. Place paper cups in the muffin pan.

2. In a big bowl, add in (A). Whisk to combine.

3. Then, add in (B). Whisk and blend until incorporated.

4. Lastly, scoop the batter into each papercups until 3/4 full.

5. Bake for 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack.

You can also make miniature bunt cakes if you have the little pans.  I made a few bundt cakes as well as cupcakes.

    My husband was looking for nice japanese desert for us to try and deceided to give this one a go.

    I have just one thing to say.. it was really yummy! We added one little addition which was crushed cashew nuts which we felt fitted in with it quite well.
