Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray six 6-ounce ramekins with nonstick spray and place on a baking sheet.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips and cubed butter for 1 minute. Stir and continue microwaving in 15-second intervals until smooth.
Stir in flour, granulated sugar, lemon curd, lemon zest, and vanilla extract just until combined.
Add eggs and egg yolks, mixing until well incorporated.
Divide batter evenly among ramekins, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until tops are browned and spring back when lightly touched.
Let cakes rest in ramekins for 5 minutes.
Run a knife around ramekin edges to loosen cakes. Invert onto plates, let rest 1 minute, then carefully remove ramekins.
Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
