So, let's dive into the world of matcha marble cupcakes and learn how to make this delicious fusion.

Ingredients You'll Need:
For the cupcakes:

1 cup of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
A pinch of salt
1/2 cup of oil
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 tablespoons of matcha powder
1 cup buttermilk

1. Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tray with paper liners. This ensures your cupcakes won't stick to the tray, making them easy to enjoy later.

2. Create the Matcha Mix

In a small bowl, mix the matcha powder with milk until it's well combined. This step infuses our cupcakes with the beautiful green tea flavor and color.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the egg and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect cupcake texture.

Add the oil. Don't forget to add the vanilla extract for that delightful aroma.

6. Blend the Dry Ingredients

Sift in the dry ingredients - the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the batter comes together to form the cupcake base.

7. Divide and Conquer

Divide the batter into two equal parts. To one part, add the matcha mixture and green food coloring if you want a more vibrant green color. To the other part, add the chocolate mixture.

8. Swirl and Bake

Now comes the fun part! Scoop a spoonful of the matcha batter and a spoonful of the vanilla batter into each cupcake liner alternately. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the batters together in each cupcake liner. This creates the beautiful marble effect.

9. Bake to Perfection

Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. This baking time ensures your cupcakes are cooked just right, with a moist crumb.
