LEMON UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Lemon Upside-Down Cake image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch cinnamon
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 cup olive oil
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup light brown sugar
2 lemons, sliced paper thin and seeds removed (about 20 slices)
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
  • Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon in a small bowl. Whisk together the eggs, milk, olive oil, sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, lemon juice and zest in a large bowl. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • Place a shallow enameled Dutch oven over direct heat. Add the butter and melt. Continue to toast the butter until it becomes brown and nutty, 1 to 2 minutes. Swirl the butter up the sides of the Dutch oven as you are toasting it to prevent the cake from sticking.
  • After the butter has browned, whisk in the brown sugar and allow it to melt. The mixture will resemble wet sand and won't get completely smooth.
  • Take the Dutch oven off the heat and shingle the lemon slices in, covering the whole surface. Keep in mind that this will be the top of your cake. Pour the batter into the Dutch oven and put it back over indirect heat. Close the grill and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out dry, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the cake from the grill and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Invert the cake onto a platter and continue to cool until ready to serve.
  • Meanwhile, place a 2-cup glass jar with a lid in the freezer for 20 minutes. When the jar is cold, pour in the cream and add the sugar and the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla. Vigorously shake until you end up with soft whipped cream, about 5 minutes.
  • Cut the cake into 8 slices and serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
  • (Alternatively, you can bake the cake in a 350 degrees F oven for 50 minutes.)

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 12h

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1 lemon, for serving
8 large egg yolks, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest (from 2 lemons)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
1 cup heavy cream
Unsalted butter, softened, for pie plate
4 large egg whites, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Crust: Preheat oven to 300 degrees with rack in center. Lightly brush a 9-inch pie plate with butter. Whisk together egg whites and 1 tablespoon cold water with a mixer on high speed until foamy, about 30 seconds. Add cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Gradually add sugar and beat until thick, glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer egg-white mixture to prepared pie plate; spread along bottom and up sides to form crust. (Don't spread past rim of pan.) Bake meringue until crisp and light golden on outside, about 40 minutes. Turn off heat and let cool in oven 1 hour, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
  • Filling: Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks in a medium saucepan (off heat) until thickened and pale yellow, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in sugar and lemon zest and juice. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture is very thick, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto surface of curd. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
  • Whisk curd until smooth. Whip cream with a mixer on high speed until soft peaks form, about 30 seconds. Working in batches, gently fold whipped cream into curd. Fill meringue crust with lightened curd; smooth top. Refrigerate, loosely covered, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Topping: Whip cream and sugar with a mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 40 seconds. Spread over pie. Finely grate lemon zest over top. Slice with a chef's knife, wiping blade between cuts, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons will give your custard cups a brighter, more flavorful taste.
  • Don't overcook the custard. Overcooked custard will be tough and rubbery. To prevent this, cook the custard until it is just set, about 15 minutes.
  • Let the custard cups cool completely before serving. This will allow the custard to firm up and develop its full flavor.
  • Serve the custard cups with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious finishing touch to your dessert.

Upside-down lemon custard cups are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With their creamy custard filling and tangy lemon topping, these custard cups are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
