Ingredients

8 ounces white chocolate
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar sifted
3 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and spray the cavities of a 6 cavity jumbo muffin tin.*
In a large microwavable bowl, melt white chocolate and butter. It should only take 60 seconds in the microwave.
Once melted, whisk in sugar, eggs, yolks, vanilla, lemon, and lemon extract (or zest) until the ingredients are fully combined.
Using a spatula, gently stir in flour and salt. Don't overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin.
Bake for 15-17 minutes (mine were perfect at 15).
Let cool in pan for 5 minutes.
Run a knife along the sides of the cakes.
Place a baking sheet on top of the muffin pan and flip them. The cakes should pop out.
Serve along with with whipped cream or Vanilla ice cream and serve immediately!
