Matcha Cream Cheese Mug Cake Recipe by Hiroko Liston
 Hiroko Liston @hirokoliston Melbourne, Australia Today I craved a Matcha flavoured cake. If it is just for myself, the quickies and easiest option is a mug cake. I used Cream Cheese instead of Butter, but the flavour of the Cream Cheese was not strong. This cake is not very sweet, so enjoy it with Vanilla Ice Cream, Muscovado Syrup, Maple Syrup, etc. Today I craved a Matcha flavoured cake.

Nia Hiura Matcha Cream Cake Matcha Cream Cake Adapted from my favorite chiffon cake recipe, this one packs such a strong matcha flavor and is the perfect melt in your mouth dessert :) Kayden Marbled Matcha Pound Cake Marbled Matcha Pound Cake I love this pound cake at the moment. I couldn't decide which cake I preferred, matcha flavour or marble cake, so I decided to try a marbled matcha cake. Sour cream gives it a moist finish. Adjust the amount of granulated sugar as you like. If you love matcha, add 4 g of matcha. Recipe by ko-ko cookpad.japan Rich Funfetti Mug Cake Recipe Rich Funfetti Mug Cake Recipe All the kids I have made this for love it and adults with sweet toothes too. Though I personally don't think it is too sweet because I myself am not too much of a sugar person. Ps : I suggest using small eggs for mug cakes because I have found using large eggs make the cakes taste too eggy. Also feel free to leave out the sprinkles to make a vanilla mug cake, it tastes just as good. Ellen_A3 Cream Cheese Pound Cake w/Lemon Glaze Cream Cheese Pound Cake w/Lemon Glaze This isn’t an original recipe but it is an adjusted recipe. It will, however, be the base for all my low carb pound cakes from now on. This is rich and moist and will be gone by tomorrow. I have a lemon tree so I used my own fresh Myer lemon juice for the glaze. Good ole carbquick. This is loaded with fiber and protein but who cares lol it’s 2 net carbs per 1/16 of the entire cake. It’s not even remotely low fat but it is extremely low carb. I could skinny this recipe down with margarine and low fat cream cheese but not today. Maybe next time.

Because I made it immediately following the first day of autumn, even though I didn't mean to, it's a cake that sort of captures the spirit of autumn. From the first layer, check the cake from the side to make sure that the height of the cake is even because it will affect the ease of the icing process. In regards to the softness of the cream, smooth out the cream by adding milk if it becomes hard. However, milk should only make up 20% of the cream at the most. This is according to a cake decorating book. Recipe by Lesser Panda cookpad.japan Domed Cake with Matcha Mousse Domed Cake with Matcha Mousse I found it great fun to make dome cakes, so I thought up this one. If you over-whip the cream at Step 1, it won't mix properly with the matcha, and may form lumps, so be careful. (I've done it myself.) For 18 cm [7.1 in] diameter round cake. Recipe by Rearea cheese cookpad.japan Matcha Roll Cake White Chocolate Cream Matcha Roll Cake White Chocolate Cream This version of matcha cake is based on Fluffy Cocoa Chocolate Roll Cake. I have increased the amount of cream compared to the cocoa version. The more cream you have, the more easier it will be to roll up, even with a thicker cake. Make the meringue stiff enough so that it will not drop even if you turn the bowl upside down. Then turn the electric mixer on low speed for 2-3 minutes, and whip until really smooth. The meringue should form stiff peaks but should not be too firm. The electric mixer can be used for steps 2-4. The cream might seem a bit watery but it will thicken as it chills in the fridge.
