BUTTERMILK POUND CAKE



Buttermilk Pound Cake image

Now that I've retired from teaching, I have more time to bake. This buttermilk pound cake is the one I make most often. It is a truly southern recipe, and one I think can't be topped-once people taste it, they won't go back to their other recipes with buttermilk. -Gracie Hanchey, De Ridder, Louisiana

LEMON BUTTERMILK PUDDING CAKE



Lemon Buttermilk Pudding Cake image

Adapted from a recipe from Bon Appétit, January 2005. This is one of those cakes that separate upon baking, creating an airy cake layer on top and a yummy, lemony sauce to spoon out from the bottom. My major change was to add grated lemon zest for more of that delicious lemon flavour. Serve with berries if in season.

Time 1h5m

Yield 8-9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 cup sugar, divided
4 large eggs, separated
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, melted or 1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon finely-grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, 1/2 cup of the sugar, the egg yolks, lemon juice, flour, butter, lemon zest, vanilla and salt until smooth.
  • In a clean glass or stainless steel bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form; continue beating, gradually adding the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, until the mixture is thick and glossy and holds stiff peaks. Gently fold the whites into the buttermilk mixture and scrape into an 8"x8" or 9"x9" pan that has been sprayed with nonstick spray.
  • Set the pan into a larger pan and pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the inner pan. Bake for about 45 minutes, until the cake is puffed and golden, and the top is springy to the touch.
  • Remove the cake from the water bath and cool for at least half an hour if you want to serve it warm, or cool it completely and then chill in the refrigerator before serving in shallow bowls, with a spoon.

LEMON PUDDING CAKES WITH SUGARED RASPBERRIES



Lemon Pudding Cakes With Sugared Raspberries image

Pudding cakes are magical sweets, baking up into two distinct layers from a single, straightforward batter. On top is an airy sponge cake that puffs in the oven's heat. Right beneath it is the pudding, a creamy lemon curd that's tangy and bracing thanks to a dash of buttermilk. Although these cakes are at their most tender when served within an hour of baking, they'll still be delicious at room temperature. Or chill them overnight and serve them straight from the fridge. The cake won't be as fluffy, but the lemon flavor will still shine bright. Feel free to use whatever ripe, juicy fruit you like here in place of the raspberries, or skip the fruit entirely.

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup/57 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick), melted and cooled, plus more for greasing the ramekins
3 large eggs, separated
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar, plus more as needed
3/4 cup/180 milliliters buttermilk (or use plain yogurt thinned with milk)
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest (from 1 to 2 lemons)
1/2 cup/120 milliliters lemon juice (from 3 to 4 lemons)
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt or table salt
1/3 cup/43 grams all-purpose flour
6 ounces/170 grams raspberries

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter 6 (8-ounce) ramekins. Place them in any large baking pan where they can sit without touching one another, such as a 9-by-13-inch pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together butter, egg yolks, 3/4 cup sugar, buttermilk, lemon zest and juice, and salt until smooth. Whisk in the flour until well combined.
  • Using an electric mixer (either handheld or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), beat egg whites on medium speed until they are thick, white and very foamy, 2 to 4 minutes. Increase speed to high and gradually beat in remaining 1/4 cup sugar, continuing to beat until stiff and glossy peaks form, about 2 to 3 minutes longer.
  • Using a rubber spatula, gently fold about a third of the egg whites into the lemon mixture, taking care not to deflate the whites. When no white streaks remain, fold in remaining whites, working carefully. Stop folding when most of the second batch of whites are mixed in, but a few white streaks remain.
  • Spoon the batter into the ramekins. Transfer the pan of ramekins to the oven. Carefully, so you don't splash the cakes, pour enough very hot tap water into the pan to come about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. The higher the water level, the more pudding and less cake you'll have.
  • Bake until the puddings are puffed and lightly browned on top, 35 to 40 minutes. Take care not to overbake, or there won't be any pudding at the bottom of the ramekins. Carefully transfer the ramekins from the pan to a rack to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. (The combination of tongs or a spatula, plus oven mitts, works well for moving the cakes.)
  • As the cakes bake, mix the raspberries and a few pinches of sugar in a bowl, mashing the raspberries slightly to release their juices. Let the raspberries macerate until the sugar melts, about 15 minutes. Then, taste and stir in more sugar if the berries are very tart.
  • Serve the cakes warm or at room temperature, with the sugared berries and some of their syrup.

LEMON BUTTERMILK PUDDING CAKE



Lemon Buttermilk Pudding Cake image

While lower in fat than most Lemon Pudding Cakes, the buttermilk gives this dessert a rich, full bodied flavor. Try it both warm and chilled. The cake is light as a feather while warm and the pudding is runny, more like a sauce. When chilled, the cake has a firmer texture and the pudding thickens and permeates the cake. Its good served with whipped cream; or a raspberry sauce.

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar, divided in half
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 lemon, zest of, finely grated
hot water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Beat the egg whites and when soft peaks begin to form, gradually beat in about half the sugar and set aside.
  • (Tip: If using an electric mixer, use the lowest speed possible; high speeds break down the egg protein and don't get job done much faster.) In a separate bowl, beat yolk and butter; gradually add the remaining sugar and when well combined add the remaining ingredients, beating until smooth.
  • Fold the egg whites into the cake mixture with a whisk or spatula, and pour into a non reactive 8x8 baking pan that has been sprayed or buttered.
  • Set the pan with the cake in a larger pan; pour hot water in the larger pan half way up the sides of the cake pan and carefully place in the oven.
  • Bake for 45 minutes until top is lightly browned.

Tips:

  • To make sure your cakes have a smooth texture, use room-temperature ingredients whenever possible. This will help them to blend together more easily and prevent lumps.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cakes tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a well-greased and floured cake pan. This will help the cakes to come out of the pan easily.
  • Bake the cakes in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that they rise evenly.
  • Don't open the oven door during baking. This can cause the cakes to fall.
  • Let the cakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk pudding cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a moist and flavorful cake that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give buttermilk pudding cakes a try.
