Take note
Please exercise caution when handling hot pots or using the microwave. Make sure to follow all safety instructions and handle ingredients carefully.

1

Prepare the ingredients

Gather all the necessary items for your Matcha Lava Cake: 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of matcha powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1 egg, and a microwave-safe mug.

2

Melt the butter and chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and white chocolate chips. Microwave in short intervals, stirring every 15 seconds until fully melted and smooth.

3

Mix the dry ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, matcha powder, and salt until well combined.

4

Combine wet and dry ingredients

Pour the melted butter and chocolate mixture into the dry ingredient bowl. Add the egg and mix until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.

5

Pour batter into a mug

Pour the batter into a microwave-safe mug, filling it about halfway to prevent overflowing. Shake the mug gently to even out the batter.

6

Microwave time!

Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 45-60 seconds. Keep a close eye on the cake as microwaves may vary in power. The cake should be set around the edges but still slightly gooey in the center.

7

Let it rest

Once cooked, carefully remove the mug from the microwave using oven mitts or a towel, as it will be hot. Allow the Matcha Lava Cake to rest for a minute or two before enjoying.
