    4 servings


    • Ingredients:

    • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
    • 2 large eggs
    • 2 large egg yolks
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon matcha green tea powder (culinary grade)
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

    • Directions:

    1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease 4 ramekins and dust with a little flour or cocoa powder.
    2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate and butter together in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
    3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until thick, pale, and slightly fluffy.
    4. Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to avoid scrambling.
    5. Sift in flour, matcha powder, and salt. Gently fold until just combined. Stir in vanilla extract.
    6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
    7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still soft and slightly jiggly.
    8. Let cakes rest for 1 minute, then carefully invert onto plates.
    9. Serve immediately for the signature molten center.

    • Tips:

    • Do not overbake—this is key to achieving the lava center.
    • Use high-quality matcha for the best flavor and vibrant green color.
    • Dust with powdered sugar or serve with vanilla ice cream for a bakery-style finish
