Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon matcha powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt butter in a microwave-safe small bowl and let cool slightly.
- Mix flour, sugar, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt in a microwave-safe mug.
- Stir in milk, vanilla, and the butter.
- Stir in white chocolate chips.
- Microwave for 75 seconds on high.
- Let cool for a couple of minutes, then serve.
Notes
- Use a regular ceramic mug. One with straight sides and a more narrow opening is better than one with a very wide opening. A narrow tube helps the cake develop volume.
- Don’t fill your mug more than halfway.
- Mix the batter well to make sure there isn’t a chunk of flour at the bottom.
- Don’t worry if your cake deflates a bit after it comes out of the microwave—this is going to happen with a mug cake recipe.
- Check the wattage of your microwave—you may need to adjust your cooking time more or less. This recipe was tested with a 800-watt microwave.
- Clean the edges of your mug with a spatula or wipe the rim of your mug with a damp paper towel after adding all of the ingredients. This will ensure your matcha mug cake cooks and rises evenly.
- Make sure to let your cake cool slightly before eating, because the middle can be extremely hot when it comes out of the microwave.
