A Matcha Mug Cake is a single-serving cake made in a mug and cooked in a microwave in 90 seconds, similar to my Protein Mug Cake, Oatmeal Mug Cake, Gooey Chocolate Mug Cake. It’s a delicious vegan snack that can be done for any cake cravings.
Why You’ll Love This Mug Cake

Nut-free Egg-free Dairy-free Vegan And there’s a gluten-free option provided.
Ingredients and Substitutions
It’s very easy to make a delicious fluffy mug cake with Matcha flavors. All you need are a few ingredients, a microwave, and of course, a microwave-safe mug to cook the recipe.
All-Purpose Flour – or white whole wheat flour for a healthier twist. You can’t make this recipe with almond flour or coconut flour. It wouldn’t work. Green Matcha Powder – use quality Matcha powder for the best flavors and results. Baking Powder – to make it fluffy. Granulated Sweetener – can be sugar, unrefined cane sugar, or sugar-free erythritol for a sugar-free mug cake option. Melted Coconut Oil – Or any oil you have on hands. But watch out, some oils have strong flavors like olive oil or avocado oil, and they mask the Matcha flavor (plus olive oil is not necessarily vegan). It’s better to focus on light flavor vegetable oils like canola oil if you don’t like coconut oil. Unsweetened Almond Milk or any plant-based milk you love. Vanilla Extract – for flavor.
How To Make Matcha Mug Cake
Cooking time
The cooking time varies a lot based on:
The size of your mug The power of your microwave The ingredient swaps you made like if you used gluten-free flour.
If unsure, start baking for 60 seconds and add 10 seconds of baking time until the mug cake is set.
Serving Ideas
Of course, any mug cake recipes are always better topped with something creamy or sweet. The best combo to serve this Matcha mug cake with are:
Coconut whipped cream Vanilla frosting Coconut yogurt Chocolate chips especially white chocolate chips. Not all white chocolates are vegan, of course, so check the nutrition panel for any dairy. Dairy-free cream cheese Vegan Whipped Cream
