This Single-Serving Matcha Microwave Cake is so dang fluffy, moist, and springy -- just like a cupcake! This recipe doesn't have any butter, oil, sugar, or flour. Yes, you read that correctly... this cake is refined sugar free, low carb, low fat, high protein, high fiber, and gluten free too!
In a bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, matcha powder, baking powder, sweetener, and salt.
Whisk in the almond milk, applesauce, egg white, and extracts until completely smooth.
Scoop batter into a mug and microwave on high for 2 minutes, or until the surface of the cake springs back when tapped. Let cool while you make the frosting.
FOR THE FROSTING:
In a bowl, whisk together the protein powder, sweetener, and matcha powder.
Whisk in the yogurt and extracts until completely smooth. Frost the cake (and add whatever extra toppings you like, such as mini chocolate chips, sliced almonds, fresh raspberries, etc.) then dig in!
Recipe Notes
To measure coconut flour, scoop it up with a measuring cup and level it off with a knife. Don't pack it into the measuring spoon.
