Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup white chocolate chopped
  • cup unsalted butter plus extra for greasing
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp matcha powder sifted
  • cup all-purpose flour sifted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease the ramekins with butter and lightly dust with flour.
  • Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
  • In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the white chocolate and butter together. Stir until smooth and let cool slightly.
  • Whisk the Eggs and Sugar:
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until thick and pale.
  • Incorporate Matcha and Chocolate:
  • Gradually whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Sift the matcha powder over the mixture and fold it in until fully incorporated.
  • Add the Flour:
  • Gently fold in the sifted flour until the batter is smooth.
  • Fill the Ramekins:
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about ¾ full.
  • Bake:
  • Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  • Cool Slightly and Serve:
  • Let the cakes cool for 1–2 minutes, then carefully run a knife around the edges and invert onto plates. Serve immediately for a molten lava center.
  • Garnish:
  • Dust with additional matcha powder, powdered sugar, or serve with vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
