Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour 30g
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon matcha
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 tablespoon dairy-free milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Lava Middle

  • 2 tablespoon vegan white chocolate chips
  • ½ teaspoon matcha
  • ½ teaspoon oil

Extra

  • oil to grease the ramekin
  • powdered sugar to dust on ramekin
  • berries to top

Instructions
 

  • Start by melting the 2 tablespoon of white chocolate chips, then mix with the olive oil and matcha. Transfer to a small cupcake liner cup and freeze until solid.
  • Add the flour, matcha, baking powder, sugar, salt, olive oil, milk, and vanilla to a bowl. Mix them well.
  • Generously grease a small ramekin with olive oil. You want the dish very greased- this will allow the lava cake to slide out of the dish once it has baked.
  • To further make sure that the cake doesn't stick to the ramekin, I dusted powdered sugar around the edges and bottom of the dish.
  • Transfer half of the cake batter to the ramekin.
  • Place the frozen matcha chocolate cup in the middle of the lava cake, then top with the remaining half of the cake batter.
  • Bake the lava cake for 20 minutes at 350°F.
  • Allow the cake to cool for 2-3 minutes. Place a small plate on top of the ramekin and, holding both the plate and the ramekin, carefully flip them upside down.
  • Gently lift up the ramekin to reveal the lava cake underneath.
  • Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Grease generously: Don’t hold back—coat your ramekin really well so the lava cake pops out with ease.
  • Dust with powdered sugar: A light coating around the edges and bottom of the ramekin after greasing it adds sweetness and helps the cake release cleanly.
  • Mix lightly: Stir the batter just until combined. Overmixing will make the cake dense instead of soft and gooey.
