Equipment

  • 4 4 oz oven safe ramekins HERE to buy

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g white chocolate chips HERE to buy
  • 30 g unsalted butter
  • 2 Tablespoon whole milk
  • 2 large egg(s)
  • 10 g sugar
  • 10 g Matcha powder HERE to buy
  • 15 g cake flour HERE to buy

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, add butter and microwave for 10-20 seconds depending on your microwave.
  • Cut white chocolate into small pieces if necessary.
    Prepare a small sized bowl and add the white chocolate. In a medium pan, add water and turn the heat to low. When the water gets warm, put the white chocolate bowl on top, and make the white chocolate completely melt.
    * be careful not to get any water in the white chocolate bowl. If water gets in, the white chocolate won't melt.
  • Separate egg yolk and egg white in a different bowls.
    Mix egg yolk well.
    Mix egg white until it forms stiff peaks. Then, add sugar and mix well.
  • Preheat your oven to 320°F(160°C).

Let's cook!

  • Add the butter, whole milk, and egg yolk into the white chocolate bowl and mix well.
  • Use a fine mesh sieve to shift Matcha powder and cake flour and add to the bowl. Mix everything.
  • Add the egg white and mix in by folding.
  • Add the batter to your small ramekins. Each ramekin should get 100 to 110ml of batter in this recipe.
  • Bake in the oven for 50 minutes.
  • After 50 minutes, take the ramekins out of the oven, then let them cool down. *1

Let's eat!

  • Shift Matcha powder or sugar on top of the cake to finish!

Notes

*1 check with a tooth pick to see if the matcha gateau chocolat is cooked. If the batter sticks to the toothpick, then cook another 10 minutes and check again. I use 4 oz ramekins and I only put about 100ml of batter in each ramekin. In that case, it should be baked in 50 minutes with 320°F(160°C).
