A matcha mug cake is best enjoyed right after it's made. If you want to store it, you can keep the cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Warm the cake briefly in the microwave before eating it again to refresh the texture. Note that the cake may be slightly drier after reheating than when it is fresh.

Ingredients

What do you need?

Quantity: 1P

6 tablespoons finely ground almond flour or cassava flour
2 teaspoons matcha
0.25 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons maple syrup or 1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons coconut oil
0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla powder
1 large egg
Ice cream (optional)
Cherries (optional)

Preparation method

How do you make this?

In a measuring cup, add the almond flour, matcha, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until the mixture is evenly combined.

Add the maple syrup (or sweetener of choice), coconut oil, vanilla powder, and the egg. Whisk the batter until smooth.

Pour the batter into a microwave-safe mug.

Place the mug in the center of your microwave (this helps the cake rise more evenly) and cook on high for 1-2 minutes. (In a 900-watt microwave, the cake is done after 90 seconds. Adjust the cooking time based on your microwave's wattage – shorten the time for a more powerful microwave and extend it for a less powerful one.)

The matcha mug cake is ready when it rises and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool for a few minutes and optionally top with a scoop of ice cream and cherries. Enjoy!

Tips

Add an extra teaspoon of matcha for a more intense taste. Replace the avocado oil with coconut oil for a tropical touch. Serve with fresh fruit or nuts for extra texture and taste.
