Cooking Method


  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and lightly dust them with matcha powder.
  2. Melt the white chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
  3. Whisk the matcha powder into the melted chocolate mixture until fully dissolved and smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract until pale and slightly thickened.
  5. Slowly fold the warm matcha mixture into the egg mixture until fully combined.
  6. Sift in the flour and salt, then gently fold until no dry streaks remain.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set while the centers remain soft and slightly jiggly.
  9. Let the cakes rest for 1 minute before carefully running a knife around the edges and inverting onto serving plates.
  10. Serve immediately with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, fresh berries, or a light dusting of matcha powder while the center is still molten.
