Notes

  • Make sure that the ingredients you are using are at room temperature.
  • Different microwaves may give different results, so keep an eye on your cake after 50 seconds in the microwave and microwave further only if required.
  • While mixing the wet and dry ingredients make sure no dry ingredients are left unmixed at the bottom of the mug.
  • Choose the size of the mug appropriately. If you use a very large mug, the cake will stay at the bottom and the cake will not look very appealing. And, if you use a very small mug, the ingredients will overflow on microwaving.
  • Adding vanilla extract is optional. Even if you add it, add it in a very small quantity otherwise it will overpower the subtle flavor of matcha.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar to suit your taste.
