Molten Matcha Cake

Green molten lava? Oooooh yeah. *Let it floooow, let it floooow*

Note: This type of volcano will not harm you; the most it can do is to have its lava burn your tongue if you can’t resist cooling it before you dive right in. I know, I know. It’s tempting, alright.

Yield: 4 small mason jars/ glass ramekins
