Lemon Pudding Cake with Fresh Mixed Berries

 

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 2/3 cup sugar

  • 2 eggs, separated

  • 2/3 cup reduced fat buttermilk

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For Garnish

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

  • 1 cup fresh blackberries

  • 2 tbsp confectioners’ sugar

Procedure

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter and lightly sugar 4 ramekins (about 1-cup size).

  2. In a mixer, add egg yolks, buttermilk, lemon juice and lemon zest and beat until well combined. Reduce the speed to low and sift in flour, sugar and salt. Continue to mix until combined. In a separate large bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Slowly fold in the egg whites into the buttermilk mixture, adding a little at a time. Divide evenly amongst ramekins and bake in a water bath (fill a roasting tray with water halfway up the sides of the ramekins).

  3. Bake for 60 minutes until the top springs back when gently pressed and the cakes have a nice golden brown color. Allow to cool slightly, then carefully invert onto a plate. Serve with fresh berries and dust with powdered sugar.
