White Velvet Butter Cupcakes with Green Tea Italian Meringue Buttercream

November 23rd, 2010 | Posted by pieter in Desserts | New this week | Vegetarian - (0 Comments)

This cupcake is going to be different from anything you have ever made or tasted.  The cupcake itself is light, and even though you frost it with a buttercream, the green tea flavor makes it taste like there is sweetness floating in your mouth.  I wouldn’t call the buttercream recipe a quick and easy fix, but it is definitely worth the extra mile, and your guests will remember it for a long time.  This recipe also makes a great wedding cake, and can be made into a tiered cake rather than cupcakes.

Sacher Torte Cake

Sacher Torte

[ratings]

The first time I had a slice of Sacher Torte was in Vienna, and I immediately fell in love with it.  I slightly americanized this recipe by replacing the torte with a devil foods cake recipe, and this is even better!  This cake is moist but still dense like a torte, and you’re going to have a lot of fun decorating it with all of the delicious layers that make it a Sacher cake.
