Cooking With Matcha Powder Ⅱ – MATCHA GREEN TEA MUG CAKE

This single serving matcha green tea flavored mug cake has a strong green tea flavor and beautiful natural dark green color.

It cooks in the microwave and is ready in minutes!

INGREDIENTS

• • • • 4 tbsp (30 g) all-purpose flour
      • 1 tsp high quality matcha powder
      • 1/4 tsp baking powder
      • 1 tbsp (12.5 g) granulated white sugar
      • 3 tbsp (45 ml) nonfat milk
      • 1/2 tbsp (7.5 ml) vegetable oil

INSTRUCTIONS

• • • • In a microwave-safe mug, add flour, matcha powder, baking powder and sugar. Whisk until evenly blended and no lumps remain. You want to make sure to break apart any matcha or flour lumps before adding the liquid.
      • Add in milk and oil. Mix with whisk until batter is smooth and uniform in color. Cook in the microwave at full power for about 1 minute. Let cake cool for a few minutes before eating.

This cake is light and fluffy and mildly sweet, letting the matcha flavor really shine through.

If you prefer, you can add more sugar, but I prefer my green tea desserts to have a strong tea flavor.

Enjoy it 🙂
