Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 large eggs
3/4 cup whole or low-fat buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
9 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups (8 ounces) fresh raspberries
Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees with a rack positioned in the top third of the oven.
  • Sift together flour and baking powder in a large bowl. In another large bowl beat eggs until creamy and yellow. Whisk in buttermilk, vanilla, 5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar, and butter (mixture will look curdled and broken). Slowly add flour and whisk until batter is smooth and combined.
  • Spray 8 standard-size (3-ounce) nonstick muffin pan cups with nonstick cooking spray. Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin pan cups, filling about two-thirds full. Transfer to oven and bake until sides of cakes are evenly browned (check by inserting a knife tip between the rim of cake and muffin cup, pulling gently to expose side of cake), about 9 minutes. If cakes are not evenly browned, they will not hold together when inverted. Continue baking, checking every minute, until evenly browned.
  • Meanwhile, place raspberries in a medium bowl; add remaining 4 tablespoons sugar and gently toss to coat.
  • Invert cakes onto eight individual plates. Place berries on top and alongside cakes; serve with whipped cream, if desired.

LEMON BUTTERMILK PUDDING CAKE



Lemon Buttermilk Pudding Cake image

While lower in fat than most Lemon Pudding Cakes, the buttermilk gives this dessert a rich, full bodied flavor. Try it both warm and chilled. The cake is light as a feather while warm and the pudding is runny, more like a sauce. When chilled, the cake has a firmer texture and the pudding thickens and permeates the cake. Its good served with whipped cream; or a raspberry sauce.

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar, divided in half
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 lemon, zest of, finely grated
hot water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Beat the egg whites and when soft peaks begin to form, gradually beat in about half the sugar and set aside.
  • (Tip: If using an electric mixer, use the lowest speed possible; high speeds break down the egg protein and don't get job done much faster.) In a separate bowl, beat yolk and butter; gradually add the remaining sugar and when well combined add the remaining ingredients, beating until smooth.
  • Fold the egg whites into the cake mixture with a whisk or spatula, and pour into a non reactive 8x8 baking pan that has been sprayed or buttered.
  • Set the pan with the cake in a larger pan; pour hot water in the larger pan half way up the sides of the cake pan and carefully place in the oven.
  • Bake for 45 minutes until top is lightly browned.

Now that I've retired from teaching, I have more time to bake. This buttermilk pound cake is the one I make most often. It is a truly southern recipe, and one I think can't be topped-once people taste it, they won't go back to their other recipes with buttermilk. -Gracie Hanchey, De Ridder, Louisiana
