Equipment

Measuring Cups and Spoons

Ingredients

4 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour (Note 1)
2 tablespoons Cane Sugar (Note 2)
¼ teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Matcha Powder
3 tablespoons Unsweetened Almond Milk at room temperature, (Note 3)
1 tablespoon Melted Coconut Oil (Note 4)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Prepare a tall microwave-safe 12-oz coffee mug or with a minimum height of 2 inches (5 cm) to prevent the mug cake batter from overflowing.
In the mug, add flour, baking powder, sugar, Matcha powder, and whisk until the Matcha powder is well combined with the dry ingredients, and almost no lumps are seen.
Whisk in almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla until it forms a smooth batter with no lumps.

Microwave Baking

Bake in the microwave for 90 seconds at 800W. If your microwave works at lower power, you may have to increase baking time by 20-second bursts. If your mug is low and wide, your mug cake will bake faster, and you may have to bake only 60 seconds first, then adjust baking by 20-second bursts as well.
Enjoy immediately with dairy-free coconut yogurt or whipped coconut cream

Oven baking

Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 10-12 minutes in an oven-safe greased ramekin.

Notes

Note 1: You can replace white flour with white whole-wheat flour or all-purpose gluten-free flour containing gum, but this last option makes the mug cake less fluffy, heavier. The recipe won't work with almond flour or coconut flour.

Note 2: Any granulated sweetener work like sugar-free erythritol, white sugar, coconut sugar, unrefined cane sugar. Don't use liquid sweeteners. They make the mug cake dense and gummy.

Note 3: Any milk work in this recipe, including oat milk, soy milk, etc.

Note 4: Any oil work in the recipe, including olive oil, avocado oil, or canola oil. Some oils are strong in flavor and may alter the Matcha flavor.
