Black Sesame Cupcakes with Matcha Cream Cheese Frosting 黑芝麻小蛋糕抹茶奶油乳酪霜(中英食谱)


Black Sesame & Matcha are great combinations

I love the fragrance and taste of black sesame and the many health benefits it provides for our body. As you can see from the chart below, it not only lowers blood cholesterol level and helps to maintain strong bones too.

I was recommended this Australian Tahini sesame spread by my aunt who told me that after consuming it faithfully for months, you will actually see your white hairs turned black! So I bought a bottle to try but the paste was too thick and somehow bitter to consume on its own. I didn't want to waste it so I used it to make this batch of black sesame cupcakes with my favourite Matcha cream cheese frosting.


These are the ingredients which I used in this recipe.


If you do not want to use the black sesame paste in this recipe, you can always replaced it with grinded black sesame.

This one was chosen by my little boy for his daddy!
