Ingredients
Scale
- 170 g white chocolate baking chips
- 113 g unsalted butter, cubed
- 85 g all-purpose flour
- 110 g granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 4 large egg yolks
- 150 g lemon curd
- 2 tbsp lemon zest (from 2 lemons)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C. Grease six 175 ml ramekins with nonstick spray and arrange them on a baking sheet.
- Combine white chocolate baking chips and cubed unsalted butter in a medium heatproof bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then continue in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
- Stir in all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, lemon curd, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Gently mix in the eggs and egg yolks, being careful not to overmix. Ensure the batter is fully incorporated and smooth.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Place the baking sheet on the middle oven rack and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until surfaces are golden and spring back when touched.
- Allow the cakes to stand for 5 minutes. Run a knife tip around the inside edge of each ramekin. Invert onto a plate and let rest for 1 minute before lifting the ramekin away slowly.
- Dust the tops with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm for a gooey centre.
Notes
- For best results, serve immediately after baking for the gooey lava effect.
- Make sure not to overbake the cakes; they should be soft in the center.
- These cakes can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator, then baked just before serving.
