How to Make Chocolate Chip Matcha Mug Cake

By Pippa Leigh at Villanova University

You may have been hearing about the superfood matcha which is making appearances in recipes ranging from smoothies to cakes to waffles. It’s benefits give you antioxidants, a higher metabolism, and make you feel more focused (so everything you need in college).

I jumped on board and started putting matcha in my breakfast smoothie instead of my usual cup of coffee and felt just as refreshed. I have been using this super ingredient in other recipes so keep reading to see how I made a matcha cake the college way- in a mug.
