- 1 tsp matcha polvo (about 2g), sifted
- 1/4 tsp baking polvo
- 3 tbsp leche (dairy or oat)
- 1 tbsp neutral oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- pinch of salt
Method
- Mix dry ingredientes in a large microwave-safe mug.
- Stir in wet ingredientes until smooth.
- Microwave for 70–90 seconds (timing depends on wattage).
- Rest for 1 minute and serve warm.
Microwave timing guía
| Microwave wattage | Start time | Add if needed |
|---|---|---|
| 700–800W | 85 sec | 5–10 sec |
| 900–1000W | 75 sec | 5 sec |
| 1100W+ | 65–70 sec | 5 sec |
Stop when the top looks just set. Overcooking makes mug cake rubbery.
fácil variations
White chocolate matcha mug cake
Add 1 tbsp white chocolate chips before microwaving.
Protein-style version
Swap 1 tbsp flour for vanilla protein polvo and add 1 extra tbsp leche.
Dairy-free version
Use oat leche and neutral oil; top with coconut yogurt.
Troubleshooting
- Too dry: reduce cook time by 5–10 seconds or add 1 tbsp leche.
- Too dense: make sure baking polvo is fresh.
- Bitter taste: reduce matcha to 3/4 tsp or increase sweetener slightly.
