For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of regular softened butter. Sifting the dry ingredients ensures an even distribution of the matcha and baking powder, resulting in a more consistent texture. If you prefer a more pronounced almond flavor, add an extra 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract. Store cooled cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
