Category: Cakes and Tarts
Difficulty: Easy
Cook Time: 15-17 min
 

INGREDIENTS

Makes 6-8 portions (2.5" rings or ramekins)

Matcha Lava Cake
½ cup (115 g) sugar
3.5 Tbsp (90 g) agave
½ cup + 2 Tbsp (135 g) whole milk
3 ea (135 g) large eggs
1 cup (120 g) cake flour
1.5 cups (145 g) almond flour (or unsweetened fine shredded coconut)
1 tsp (4.8 g) baking powder
2.8 oz (80 g) Valrhona White Chocolate (Ivoire 35%)
2 Tbsp (30 g) unsalted butter (softened)
1 tsp (15 g) matcha powder
6-8 ea Etnao Chocolate Inserts

 

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Whisk together the sugar, agave, milk and eggs.
  • Sift the cake flour, baking powder and matcha powder, then add to almond flour (or coconut).
  • Add the dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix with a spatula until smooth.
  • Melt the white chocolate in the microwave (20 second intervals) just until melted. Add the softened butter and mix.
  • Fold in the chocolate mixture into the batter. Chill the batter for at least 4 hours before baking.
  • Butter the metal rings and line with parchment strips (or buttered ramekins) and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  • Pipe the batter into the rings, about 4 Tbsp., then place an Etnao in the center (do not press down). Pipe a small amount of batter on the top to cover, about 1 Tbsp. Repeat until all the rings or ramekins are full.
  • Bake at 400°F for 15-17 minutes. The cakes should be golden on the edges and just barely cooked on top (center only).
  • Remove from the oven and carefully remove the rings, then the parchment. Dust with matcha powder and serve immediately.
