Dandy® Meyer Lemon Pudding Cake image

Although I have cooked with Meyer lemons, lately they've become my muse-my obsession; and I'm sorry I haven't given Meyer lemons as much attention as they deserve! I was a bit concerned because the recipe didn't indicate to use a bain-marie but the finished product didn't seem to require one. Here's a cake recipe I found recently online that uses this exquisite citrus fruit. Easy! From dudafresh.com. The question remains: Does one eat Meyer lemon pudding cake with a spoon or fork?

Time 55m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 teaspoons finely grated meyer lemon zest
3 -4 meyer lemons (do not substitute standard lemons)
3/4 cup unbleached cane sugar
1/4 cup unbleached flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, separated
1 cup whole milk, at room temperature (for best flavor use whole milk or a combination of milk, half and half and or or heavy cream for ext)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
real whipped cream
meyer lemon zest
lemon verbena leaves or mint leaf

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Butter an 8-inch square baking pan.
  • Finely grate 3 teaspoons zest then squeeze 1/3 cup juice from the lemons; set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the dry ingredients.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, butter, Meyer lemon zest and juice; add this mixture to the dry ingredients and combine.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until (soft peaks) form.
  • Start by stirring one third of the egg whites into the batter to lighten, gently fold in the the remaining egg whites. Note: the batter will be thin.
  • Pour the batter into buttered baking pan and bake until golden 35-40 minutes.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • If desired, garnish the top of each serving with a dollop of real whipped cream and/or a few strands of zest and a whole mint leaf or lemon verbena leaf.
  • Note: The consistency of this dessert is more pudding-like than cake-like. It will firm up slightly once it cools. I discovered it's best to let the cake sit for about 10-15 minutes after removing from the oven. Before serving, take a wet knife and run it around the edges of the pan to gently loosen the cake.

This cake was a bit of a disappointment. The cake was dry and crumbly, and the pudding filling was too runny. I think I may have overcooked the cake, or maybe I didn't measure the ingredients correctly. I will definitely try this recipe again, but I

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The lemon flavor was nice and bright, and the pudding filling was rich and creamy. I think this cake would be better if it was served with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.

This cake was a bit more dense than I expected, but it was still very good. The lemon flavor was subtle, and the pudding filling was creamy and smooth. I think this cake would be even better if it was served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
