STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter and dust two ramekins with matcha powder.

     ðŸ’¡ Flow tip: Matcha powder instead of flour prevents white streaks on your green cake.


  2. Melt the infused butter and white chocolate together in a double boiler until smooth.

     ðŸ’¡ Flow tip: Stir gently to avoid air bubbles which can cause the cake to collapse.


  3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and powdered sugar until thick and pale.

     ðŸ’¡ Flow tip: This aeration is what gives the lava cake its light, souffle-like exterior.


  4. Fold the chocolate-butter mixture into the eggs, then gently sift in the flour and matcha.

     ðŸ’¡ Flow tip: Fold by hand to keep the air in the batter; do not overmix.


  5. Pour into ramekins and bake for 11-12 minutes until edges are firm but center is soft.

     ðŸ’¡ Flow tip: Let rest for 2 minutes before inverting onto a plate for the perfect 'lava' flow.
