You'll need

Items needed to answer the question, make a Matcha Lava Cake. Items include: all-purpose flour matcha powder baking powder white chocolate unsalted butter granulated sugar egg vanilla extract powdered sugar

all-purpose flour 1/2 cup
matcha powder 4 tablespoons
baking powder 1/4 teaspoon
white chocolate 4 ounces (113g)
unsalted butter 1/4 cup
granulated sugar 1/2 cup
egg 1
vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon
powdered sugar 2 tablespoons

Take note
Be careful not to overcook the cakes or you'll miss out on the molten matcha center. Also, be sure to let the cakes cool for a few minutes before attempting to remove them from the ramekins.

1

Preheat Your Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). Make sure the oven is fully heated before moving on to the next step.

2

Prepare Your Ramekins

Grease four ramekins with butter and dust them with some matcha powder. This will prevent the cakes from sticking and add a touch of extra matcha flavor.

3

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons matcha powder, and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder. Make sure the dry ingredients are well combined.

4

Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 4 ounces (113g) of white chocolate. Heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until fully melted and smooth.

5

Prepare the Batter

In a separate mixing bowl, cream together 1/4 cup unsalted butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in 1 egg and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually add the melted white chocolate and combine. Finally, fold in the dry ingredients until just incorporated.

6

Fill Your Ramekins

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Fill them up about two-thirds of the way, leaving room for the matcha lava to rise when baked.

7

Create the Matcha Lava

In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon matcha powder and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar. Sprinkle this mixture on top of the batter in each ramekin, then gently press it down with the back of a spoon. This will create a delicious molten matcha center.

8

Bake and Enjoy!

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center should still be soft and slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool for a few minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges and invert the cakes onto plates. Dive in while they're still warm and enjoy every gooey bite!
