I’m a huge fan of lava cakes and this white chocolate matcha lava cake is no exception. With just a minute in the microwave this is an easy keto dessert recipe you won’t want to miss!
Green tea is well known for its myriad health benefits. Matcha is a type of green tea that is particularly high in antioxidants called catechins, and mind-calming amino acid called L-theanine. Green tea is beneficial for heart health, metabolic health and has shown to lower insulin levels in menopausal women. Thanks to the high content of catechins, it is beneficial for people suffering from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
This recipe makes one single-serve cake if you feel like having a sugar-free treat for breakfast. Half of the cake will be enough for a tasty keto dessert to finish a dinner party. Just keep in mind that nutrition facts are listed per half of the cake.
And if you're not a fan of matcha, prefer dark chocolate or if you are nut-free, try this Keto Chocolate Lava Cake.

Ingredients (makes 2 servings)
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk together all ingredients except the coconut butter and about 1/2 tsp Swerve for dusting. Pour all but 2 tablespoons batter into one greased ramekin.
- Place the coconut butter in the center of the batter then cover with the remaining batter. Microwave for 1-2 minutes until set.
Tips for cooking in the oven: If you don't have a microwave, I suggest you make 4-8 servings at once. Preheat the oven to 175 °C/ 350 °F (fan assisted) and cook for about 10 minutes.
- Invert onto a plate. Dust with the remaining Swerve. Optionally, serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
- Serve immediately.
