Ingredients

  • 165 g (5.8 oz) white chocolate, chopped
  • 60 g (½ cup) Type 00 flour or all-purpose flour
  • 110 g eggs (about 2 large), at room temperature
  • 30 g (¼ cup) powdered sugar
  • 80 g (5 ½ tbsp) unsalted butter, softened
  • 15 g (1 ½ tbsp) almond flour
  • ½ vanilla bean, seeds scraped
  • 1 pinch fine salt
  • Butter for greasing the molds
  • Brown sugar for coating the molds

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F). Grease 5 small aluminum molds with butter and coat with brown sugar. Set aside.
  2. Chop white chocolate and melt it using a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
  3. Stir softened butter into the melted chocolate until glossy and fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and powdered sugar for about 2 minutes until light and frothy. Add salt and mix briefly.
  5. Pour the chocolate mixture into the eggs and whisk until incorporated.
  6. Stir in vanilla seeds, then sift in flour and almond flour. Mix until smooth.
  7. Divide the batter evenly into the prepared molds, filling each about three-quarters full.
  8. Bake for 16–17 minutes, until the tops are set but centers remain soft.
  9. Remove from oven, cool briefly, then unmold and serve warm for the molten center effect.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Greasing and sugaring the molds helps ensure easy release after baking.
  • Prepare the batter ahead and refrigerate in molds up to 1 day in advance.
  • Freeze unbaked cakes and bake directly from frozen with 3–4 extra minutes of baking time.
  • Serve with ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries for a beautiful finish.
