Categories     desserts

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 eggs (room temperature)-separated
¾ cup sugar
½ cup unsalted butter-melted and slightly cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
grated zest from 2 large lemons
1 ¾ cups milk-lukewarm
powdered sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper leaving overhang the sides, lightly grease with cooking spray, then set aside.
  • Whip the egg whites until STIFF peaks form, set aside.
  • Beat the egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow.
  • Add melted butter and vanilla and mix until evenly combined.
  • Mix in flour until evenly incorporated.
  • Add lemon juice and lemon zest and mix until combined.
  • Slowly beat in the milk until well combined.
  • Add egg whites and whisk by hand. You don't need to fold it in completely. Leave small egg whites lumps. When you pour it into the pan, lumps will float on the surface and create the top layer during the baking. NOTES: The batter is very, very thin!!!
  • Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 40-60 minutes (until the cake is barely jiggly in the center, but the top is firm to touch). Baking time might vary depending on your oven or pan you use but start checking after 35 minutes. If the top browns quickly, you can cover the cake with aluminum foil. Do not overbake it, or the cake will turn out rubbery not custardy in the center.
  • Cool the cake completely before dusting it with powdered sugar.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge

LEMON PUDDING CAKE



Lemon Pudding Cake image

A moist lemon cake sits atop a delicate custard in this recipe, adapted from Ian Knauer's book "The Farm." The magic is in the cooking: Setting a 8-inch baking dish in a roasting pan filled halfway with water allows the custard to form while the top bakes. It's an excellent party dish, warm and just out of the oven. But it's equally as good out of the fridge, its flavors melded and mellowed.

LEMON PUDDING POUND CAKE



Lemon Pudding Pound Cake image

I love my Aunt TC's Lemon-Lime Soda Cake, so I thought it would be fun to make my own pound cake to share with her. Instant lemon pudding mix is the key to making this pound cake extra moist, and the lemon drizzle on top adds another layer of citrusy goodness.

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     dessert

Time 2h35m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
3 cups all-purpose flour
One 3.4-ounce package instant lemon pudding mix
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup whole milk
1 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more as needed
Juice of 1 small lemon (1 1/2 tablespoons)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a Bundt pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, pudding mix, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Beat the butter, oil and granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment at medium-high speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until pale and fluffy, 4 to 6 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and add the eggs, one at a time, beating until the yellow disappears after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract, lemon zest and lemon juice just until combined.
  • Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk in 3 additions, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Beat just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Scrape the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan and bake until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with only a couple of moist crumbs, 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the cake and invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the lemon drizzle: Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and vanilla until thick. (If it's too runny, add a little more confectioners' sugar.) After the cake is cooled, pour the lemon drizzle over the top.

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.

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:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Make sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Use real butter, not margarine, and fresh eggs.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: This recipe is fairly easy to make, but it's important to follow the instructions carefully to ensure success. Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients unless you know what you're doing.
  • Use a water bath: Baking the cake in a water bath helps to create a moist, tender crumb. Make sure the water is simmering before you place the cake pan in the oven.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will help the cake to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This lemon custard pudding cake is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of lemon, custard, and cake is sure to please everyone.
