🛒 Ingredients

✓ 60ml virgin coconut oil
✓ 40g plain Greek yogurt (full-fat)
✓ 1 whole egg + 2 egg whites, room temperature
✓ 75g caster sugar
✓ 35g matcha powder (premium grade)
✓ 80ml almond milk (unsweetened)
✓ 40g all-purpose flour
✓ 1g baking powder
✓ 1g sea salt
✓ 5ml vanilla extract
✓ 100g silken tofu, drained
✓ 30ml coconut cream
✓ 60g premium white chocolate, chopped
✓ 20g coconut butter

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Lava Filling: In a small blender, combine drained silken tofu, coconut cream, and vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth and silky. Set aside. Melt white chocolate and coconut butter together in a microwave-safe bowl (30-second bursts, stirring between) until glossy. Fold gently into tofu mixture until marbled. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

2. Preheat & Prepare Ramekins: Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Lightly coat four 180ml ramekins with coconut oil spray. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Warm coconut oil to 45°C (lukewarm, not hot). Whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, and caster sugar for 3 minutes until pale and thick. Add Greek yogurt and vanilla extract, whisk until smooth.

4. Sift Dry Ingredients: Sift matcha powder, flour, baking powder, and salt into a separate bowl. This prevents lumps and ensures even matcha distribution.

5. Create the Batter: Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture in two batches, alternating with almond milk (wet, dry, wet, dry, wet). Use a spatula and fold until just combined—do not overmix, as this toughens the cake.

6. Fill the Ramekins: Divide matcha batter equally among the four ramekins, filling each halfway. Place approximately 25-30ml of the chilled lava filling in the center of each ramekin, then top with remaining batter to cover filling completely.

7. Bake with Precision: Bake for 12-14 minutes. The cake is done when edges are set and springy, but the center jiggles slightly when gently shaken—this indicates the lava center is still molten.

8. Rest & Unmold: Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Run a thin knife around the edge of each ramekin, place a serving plate on top, and invert with confidence. The cake will slide onto the plate.

9. Plate & Serve: Dust with matcha powder and a light drizzle of coconut cream (optional). Serve immediately while the center flows freely.
