Chocolate and Green Tea Muffins

The original recipe is for a cake...but i find mini muffins so much easier to eat.....i also amended the recipe a little so it becomes a marbled muffin thingy...since green muffins dunt really look too appetizing to J.....these muffins were really nice and moist....love the light taste of matcha in the muffins...couldnt comment on the frosting since i couldnt be bothered to make it...seriously...like i needed the extra calories...heee

link to original recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/green-tea-layer-cake/













Ingredients (my version):
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cake flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons matcha powder
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
3/4 cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 cup plain yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Method:
  1. Sift together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking soda, salt; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together sugar, oil, and eggs until smooth. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the yogurt, mixing just until incorporated. 
  3. Scope 1/3 of the batter out and add cocoa powder to it. Add the matcha powder to the remaining 2/3 batter. Mix well. 
  4. Pour green batter into muffin maker and then top with a dollop of brown batter (to get the marbled effect). 10 mins in the maker or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean.
