Instructions
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large microwave-safe mug, whisk together flour, sugar, and matcha powder until the matcha is evenly distributed throughout and there are no green clumps remaining.
Add Wet Ingredients
Add the egg, milk, and melted butter to the mug. Stir vigorously with a fork until a smooth batter forms and no flour streaks remain on the sides of the mug.
Microwave the Cake
Microwave on high power for 60 to 90 seconds, checking at 60 seconds. The cake should be just set in the center with moist edges and slightly pulling from the sides of the mug.
Rest and Garnish
Let the cake cool for one minute, then dust the top lightly with additional matcha powder and serve with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
