Batch file - replact tokens from file

I have a simple text file with some tokens 

This is ${token1} and this is ${token2}

And another file with token values like 

token1=me
token2=my brother

I found a way to achieve this using java code and library called freemarker
I was wondering if its simple enough to do using batch commands?

With replacer.bat (it should be in the same directory as the script bellow):

@echo off
setlocal 
set "textFile=C:\text.txt"
set "propertiesFile=C:\properties.txt"

for /f "usebackq tokens=1* delims==" %%a in ("%propertiesFile%") do (
  call replacer.bat "%textFile%" "${%%a}" "%%b"
)

endlocal

with powershell :

@echo off
setlocal 
set "textFile=C:\text.txt"
set "propertiesFile=C:\properties.txt"

for /f "usebackq tokens=1* delims==" %%a in ("%propertiesFile%") do (
  powershell "(Get-Content '%textFile%') -replace '\$\{%%a\}', '%%b' | Set-Content '%textFile%'"
)

endlocal
