Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large eggs, separated
1 cup milk (low-fat or whole)
2 teaspoons lemon zest, from 2 lemons
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, from 2 lemons
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
¼ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
Fresh berries and Confectioners' sugar, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and set a rack in the middle position. Spray six (6-oz) ramekins with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, butter, and salt. Add the flour and sugar and whisk until smooth.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. (The peaks should curl when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.) Spoon about ¼ of the egg whites into the lemon mixture and whisk until smooth. Add the remaining egg whites and, using a rubber spatula, gently fold into the lemon mixture until smooth. The batter will be light, foamy, and liquidy.
  • Place the prepared ramekins into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Ladle the batter evenly into the ramekins (it will come almost to the top). Using a teapot or pitcher, pour room temperature water into the pan to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Carefully place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the cakes are puffy and lightly golden on top. Using tongs, carefully remove the ramekins from the baking dish and let cool on a rack for about 20 minutes before serving. (They will sink a bit as they cool; that's okay.) Dust with Confectioners' sugar and serve with berries, if desired.
  • Make Ahead: The cakes can be made a day ahead of time. Once completely cool, cover the cakes with plastic wrap and store at room temperature. Before serving, preheat the oven to 350°F and set a rack in the middle position. Remove the plastic wrap and place the ramekins on a baking sheet; heat for 10-15 minutes, until warmed through.

Lemon Sponge Pudding image

As this elegant dessert bakes, it separates into a cakey layer atop a rich custard.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pot de creme pots
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, separated
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter seven 4 1/2-ounce pots de creme pots, or six 6-ounce ramekins; set aside. In a large bowl, stir together butter, granulated sugar and salt. Stir in yolks. Add flour, milk, and lemon juice and zest; mix until incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into butter mixture.
  • Ladle batter into prepared pots de creme pots. Transfer pots to a roasting pan. Pour boiling water around pots to come halfway up the sides. Bake until just set and lightly golden, about 20 minutes (25 minutes for ramekins). Remove from roasting pan; let cool slightly. Dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice instead of bottled lemon juice.
  • Use a microplane grater to zest the lemons. This will give your cake a more intense lemon flavor and aroma.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can use a hand mixer or a whisk to combine the ingredients. Just be sure to mix until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • For a creamier frosting, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • If you don't have any lemon curd on hand, you can make your own by following this recipe.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This easy lemon cake pudding is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with a simple vanilla cake batter that is infused with lemon zest and juice, and then topped with a creamy lemon frosting. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the frosting is light and fluffy. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
