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

  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C.
  2. Grease six 175 ml ramekins generously with nonstick spray.
  3. Arrange them evenly on a baking sheet for easy transport.
  4. Combine the white chocolate baking chips and cubed unsalted butter in a medium heatproof bowl and microwave for 1 minute.
  5. Stir the mixture and continue microwaving in 15-second intervals until smooth.
  6. Stir in the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar until fully combined.
  7. Add the lemon curd, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, mixing until just blended.
  8. Fold in the eggs and egg yolks gently, ensuring not to overmix.
  9. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about two-thirds full.
  10. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and slightly springy when touched.
  11. Let the cakes stand for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges to loosen.
  12. Invert the ramekins onto dessert plates and gently lift away.
  13. Dust with powdered sugar before serving warm.

Notes

Make the batter a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Use dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
