These delightful matcha green tea lava cakes combine the delicate flavors of matcha and white chocolate, resulting in a decadent dessert with a molten lava center. They are perfect for occasions such as dinner parties or romantic date nights, and surprisingly easy to prepare.
This trendy dessert is made with high-quality matcha powder, which gives it a vibrant green color and addictively earthy and satisfying flavor.
Melt the base. Combine the white chocolate and butter in a bowl and melt them together in the microwave. Stir well and let cool for a few minutes.
03
Add the egg. Add the egg to the cooled chocolate-butter mixture and stir with a rubber spatula.
04
Mix in the dry ingredients. Sift the matcha, cake flour, and powdered sugar into the mixture and mix until evenly combined.
05
Prep the ramekin. Coat a ramekin with butter, then sprinkle it evenly with flour so the cake doesn't stick.
06
Fill. Pour the mixture into the ramekin, leaving a little room at the top, as the cake will rise slightly.
07
Bake. Bake for about 10 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Don't overbake, or you'll lose the gooey center.
08
Unmold. Run a spatula around the edges to release the cake. Place a dessert plate upside down on top of the ramekin and, wearing protective gloves, press firmly and flip in one smooth, swift motion. Tap gently and lift the ramekin away.
09
Dust and serve. Generously sift powdered sugar on top and serve.
To make a lava cake, you intentionally undercook the cake batter to achieve its distinctive soft and gooey center. The center is typically made by combining melted chocolate and butter, creating a liquid filling that remains molten even as the outer layers of the cake set during baking.
Once the lava cake is placed in the oven, the intense heat causes the outer portion to firm up while the interior stays delightfully melted. The final result is a warm and indulgent dessert that releases a luscious flow of melted chocolate when you slice into it.
Our matcha lava cake has a crispy outer layer and a soft, gooey center, making it a mouthwatering treat for your taste buds.
A blend of sweet and savory umami in one bite? That will surely hit the spot!
The bottom line: matcha molten cake is the perfect dinner party or date night dessert!
And that's it! With just a few simple steps, you can create a decadent and delicious matcha lava cake that's sure to impress. Serve it alongside a scoop of matcha green tea ice cream for an extra special treat. Enjoy!
