Ingredients
✓ 2.1 oz white chocolate, finely chopped
✓ 2 tbsp heavy cream
✓ 1 tsp hojicha powder
✓ 0.35 oz unsalted butter, room temperature
✓ 3.5 oz white chocolate, chopped
✓ 2.8 oz unsalted butter
✓ 2 large eggs
✓ 1 large egg yolk
✓ 2.1 oz granulated sugar
✓ 1.4 oz all-purpose flour
✓ 1/8 tsp salt
✓ Softened butter for greasing
✓ Cocoa powder or flour for dusting
Instructions
✓ Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease four ramekins with softened unsalted butter.
✓ In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate using short bursts on high power until fully melted; stir well.
✓ Combine the hojicha powder with the heavy cream in another small bowl and mix thoroughly to create a smooth ganache base.
✓ Pour the hot ganache into each ramekin, filling about 2/3 full.
✓ In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter until light and fluffy, then add the chopped white chocolate, continuing to beat until well incorporated.
✓ Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring they are fully integrated before adding another; mix in the egg yolk, sugar, flour, and salt.
✓ Carefully pour the cake batter over the ganache, filling each ramekin almost to the top but leaving a small gap for expansion.
✓ Place the filled ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges of the cakes begin to pull away from the sides.
✓ Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before dusting with cocoa powder or flour; serve immediately while still warm.
Notes
Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for the best results. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light and tender.
