Cooking Instructions

Combine the 7 Tbsp and 1 tsp of Cake Flour (1/2 cup) , Granulated Sugar (4 Tbsp) , Baking Powder (as needed) , Baking Soda (as needed) , Salt (as needed) , and Matcha Powder (1 tsp) in a small bowl.

In another bowl, gently whisk together the Egg (1) , Unsalted Butter (2 Tbsp) , Vanilla Extract (as needed) , and Buttermilk (1/3 cup) .

Add the wet ingredient mixture to the dry ingredient mixture and keep whisking to create a smooth flowing batter. Feel free to include the Roasted Pecans (2 Tbsp) at this point.

Divide butter into two microwave-safe mugs and fill them halfway. Drizzle extra toasted pecans on top.

Microwave the mugs separately for 90 seconds on high heat. Add an additional 10-second interval if the cake hasn’t set yet. Do this until it’s cooked all the way through.

Let it cool for 2 minutes.

Serve warm with ice cream, maple syrup or a simple sift of powdered sugar. Devour to your heart's content!
