Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 145 g before cooking, which is about 145 g per serving.
Steps
Place the matcha pea protein powder, oat flour, egg, and unsweetened soy milk in a microwave-safe container. Stir until the dry ingredients are completely moistened and the batter is smooth, with no visible dry flour or separation of the egg mixture.
Place the container in the microwave and heat for the first round. Microwave for about 1 minute 30 seconds in a standard household microwave; adjust the actual time according to the microwave's power and the depth of the container. The edges of the cake should begin to set while the center remains slightly moist.
Remove the container, let the cake rest briefly, and check for doneness. Then microwave for a second round of about 1 minute 30 seconds, bringing the total microwave time to 3 minutes. Heat until the cake has risen and is mostly set, avoiding overcooking, which can make the texture dry and firm.
Remove the cake and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it directly from the container, or carefully invert it to unmold and serve as breakfast or a snack.

It does not specify the exact distribution of microwave time for each round, only that the cake should be microwaved twice for a total of 3 minutes. Adjust the time according to the microwave's power and avoid overcooking it in a single round.
