Matcha Mug Cake Ingredients

- all purpose flour
- green tea powder
- baking powder
- white sugar
- milk
- vegetable oil
That's it!
Tips
Pay attention to the type of coffee mug you use. You need to use a microwave-safe mug, otherwise your matcha cake could overcook. I would recommend that you use at least a 10 oz mug to make sure the mug cake doesn't overflow. If you use a smaller mug, you will need to keep a close eye on it in the microwave.
Know your microwave oven. Different microwaves have different strengths, so if this is your first time making a mug cake you may need to adjust the cooking time.
Make it into a vegan mug cake. All you need to do is swap the milk for plant-based milk. I love oat milk or soy milk in this particular recipe.
Add some mix-ins. This mug cake goes so well with white chocolate chips or fresh raspberries, but you can get as creative as you like with the mix-ins!
