Instructions
Sift Dry Ingredients
Sift flour, matcha powder, sugar, and baking powder together into a large microwave-safe mug to prevent lumps and ensure the matcha distributes evenly throughout the batter.
Add Wet Ingredients
Pour milk and vegetable oil into the mug with dry ingredients and whisk with a fork until a smooth vivid green batter forms with no lumps of matcha visible.
Microwave the Cake
Microwave on high for 75 to 90 seconds until the top of the cake is just set and springs back gently when lightly touched. Do not overcook.
Cool and Garnish
Allow the mug cake to cool for 1 minute then dust the top with a pinch of extra matcha powder and serve with a small scoop of vanilla or red bean ice cream.
