Need dessert fast? This matcha mug cake takes about five minuti start to finish, no oven required.

ingredienti

Ingredient tip: Using high-quality matcha polvere helps keep flavour smooth and balanced in this ricetta. (1 mug cake)

  • 4 tbsp plain flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar (or maple syrup equivalent)
  • 1 tsp matcha polvere (about 2g), sifted
  • 1/4 tsp baking polvere
  • 3 tbsp latte (dairy or oat)
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil or melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • pinch of salt

Method

  1. Mix dry ingredienti in a large microwave-safe mug.
  2. Stir in wet ingredienti until smooth.
  3. Microwave for 70–90 seconds (timing depends on wattage).
  4. Rest for 1 minute and serve warm.

Stop when the top looks just set. Overcooking makes mug cake rubbery.

facile variations

White chocolate matcha mug cake

Add 1 tbsp white chocolate chips before microwaving.

Protein-style version

Swap 1 tbsp flour for vanilla protein polvere and add 1 extra tbsp latte.

Dairy-free version

Use oat latte and neutral oil; top with coconut yogurt.

Troubleshooting

  • Too dry: reduce cook time by 5–10 seconds or add 1 tbsp latte.
  • Too dense: make sure baking polvere is fresh.
  • Bitter taste: reduce matcha to 3/4 tsp or increase sweetener slightly.

For bigger-batch dessert ideas, try matcha cookies or matcha banana bread.
