Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and matcha green tea powder until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix gently until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar on low speed, then add the heavy cream, matcha powder, and vanilla extract. Beat on high speed until light and fluffy.
Once the cupcakes are fully cooled, apply the matcha frosting using a piping bag or a spatula to decorate each cupcake.
