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.

Tips:

  • Use good quality ingredients. Fresh lemons, real butter, and large eggs will all contribute to a more flavorful and moist cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake, or the cakes will be dry.
  • Let the cakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Be creative with your frosting. You can use a simple buttercream frosting, or you can get creative and try something different, such as a lemon glaze, a cream cheese frosting, or a whipped cream frosting.

Conclusion:

Lemon pudding cake cups are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are moist, flavorful, and have a delicious lemon flavor. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these cakes in no time. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, give lemon pudding cake cups a try. You won't be disappointed!
