METHOD
Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl (flour, tea, sugar, baking soda, salt, and baking powder). Combine the soy milk, vanilla extract, and oil in a mixing bowl. Whip the mixture with a wire whisk. Fill each cupcake liner with a tsp of sesame seeds. The batter should then be used to fill each cupcake liner halfway.
Bake at 355° F (180° C) for about 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of each cupcake comes out clean. Place them in a cool place for a few hours.
Top each cupcake with a dollop of creamy cheese and a sprinkle of matcha green tea.
