Green tea mug cake

Matcha (or maccha) is the finely powdered green tea used in Japan's cherished tea ceremony. It is also commonly used as a flavouring in a number of food preparations, including noodles, ice cream, and confectionery. The tea is bitter, and during the tea ceremony it is consumed with a small wagashi sweet. Here, the effect is simulated by turning the tea itself into a sweet.

Preparation time : 10 mins
Makes : 2 Mug Cakes

Ingredients :

Egg : 1 large
Vegetable oil : 2 Tbsp
Matcha powder : 1 tsp
Milk : 2 Tbsp
Vanilla extract : 1/2 tsp
Granulated Sugar : 1/4 cup
All purpose flour : 6 Tbsp ( 1/4 cup+ 2 Tbsp)
Baking soda : pinch
Kosher salt : pinch

Method :

In a large mug , whisk together the egg, oil, and matcha with a fork.
Stir in the mil, vanilla and sugar.
Add the flour and salt.
Beat the batter until smooth.
Divide the batter between two mugs.
Microwave  separately for 11/2 to 2 1/2 minutes each until risen and firm.

Yummy mug cake is ready to serve.

Note : Instant tea powder is milder than matcha, and often presweetened. You may use it in place of the matcha in this recipe, but reduce the granulated sugar to two table spoons.

Serve your cake hot with your choice of topping.
Enjoy your dish :)
