Matcha frosting (Buttercream)
Matcha Frosting goes so well with almost any cake! One of my favorite pairings is with chocolate. This frosting is not only beautiful to look at, its a delightful change of pace from the usual buttercream flavors.

Matcha frosting
- 1 1/2 tbsp matcha green tea powder
- 1 cup salted butter, two sticks, softened
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla, optional *see notes
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Start by beating the butter on medium speed in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Beat until creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar, matcha, milk, vanilla and salt. Start the mixer again, on low. As it’s mixing, increase the speed as the sugar gets incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary with a rubber spatula. Beat until fully mixed and creamy.
Notes
- This frosting will taste great without vanilla, but it really does enhance the flavor so I recommend using it if you have it.
