Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more, room temperature, for ramekins
1/3 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
3 large eggs, separated
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 1/3 cup lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
1 1/4 cups whole milk
Confectioners' sugar, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter eight 6-ounce ramekins or a 2-quart baking dish. Set in a shallow baking pan. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks with 1/2 cup granulated sugar until pale and smooth. Whisk in butter, lemon zest and juice, milk, and flour mixture. (Refrigerate mixture, up to 3 hours.)

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.

Steps:

  • Place a large roasting pan on a rack in the center of the oven. Fill the pan halfway with water. With the pan inside, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square or round baking dish.

WARM LEMON PUDDING CAKES



Warm Lemon Pudding Cakes image

Spoon into these lovely lemon pudding cakes and discover a layer of luscious lemon pudding beneath the cake!

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.

Tips:

  • To achieve a smooth and lump-free batter, whisk the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl before gradually adding them to the wet ingredients.
  • Using fresh lemon zest and juice is crucial for imparting a bright and tangy flavor to the cake. Avoid using bottled lemon juice or zest, as they may not provide the same intensity of flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
  • For a moist and tender texture, use high-quality butter. Unsalted butter is preferred so that you can control the amount of salt in the cake.
  • Line the loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent the cake from sticking and to ensure easy removal.
  • Baking time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the cake and test it for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center. The toothpick should come out clean when the cake is fully baked.

Conclusion:

This lemon pudding cake is a delightful treat that combines a moist and tender crumb with a vibrant lemon flavor. The simple ingredients and straightforward instructions make it an excellent choice for home bakers of all skill levels. Whether you are looking for a classic dessert to share with friends and family or a sweet treat to enjoy on your own, this cake is sure to satisfy.
