• all purpose flour

• baking powder

• 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!
