Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 1 teaspoon for coating ramekins
1 cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for coating ramekins
1/4 teaspoon salt
Zest of 3 lemons
3 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (3 lemons)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 large stalks rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch dice

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Butter six 5-ounce ramekins or custard cups; coat them with 2 tablespoons sugar.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat 2 tablespoons butter, 1/4 cup sugar, salt, and zest on medium speed until well combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Add yolks; beat until creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add milk, lemon juice, and flour; stir to combine.

LEMON SPONGE PUDDING



Lemon Sponge Pudding image

This makes a delicate sponge that separates in the oven so there's a layer of lemon pudding in the bottom of the bowl. We like raspberry sorbet on top for color and brightness, but my restaurant partner Rich Melman likes my Buttermilk Ice Cream on top for a creamier soothing experience.

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup and 3/4 cup sugar
5 eggs, separated
1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cup whole milk
2/3 cup lemon juice
2 lemons, zested
Equipment: 8 (8-ounce) ramekins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter the ramekins.
  • In a mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter with 1/3 cup of the sugar. Mix in the egg yolks; then fold in the flour (it may look curdled.) With a whisk, work in the milk, lemon juice and lemon zest.
  • In a standing mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the 3/4 cup sugar and continue whipping on medium speed until glossy. Whisk 1/4 of the whites into the lemon mixture and then fold in the remainder.
  • Portion the batter immediately into the buttered dishes filling 3/4 of the way full and bake immediately in a water bath covered with foil for 30 minutes. Serve warm topped with a scoop of raspberry sorbet.

Tips:

  • Utilize fresh lemons: The zest and juice from fresh lemons contribute vibrant flavor and aroma to the pudding. If possible, choose unwaxed lemons for optimal zest quality.
  • Cream the butter and sugar thoroughly: This step incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a light and fluffy texture. Creaming the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy is essential.
  • Add eggs one at a time: Gradually incorporating the eggs ensures they are evenly distributed and prevents the mixture from curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough pudding. Mix only until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Use a water bath: Baking the pudding in a water bath creates a moist and evenly cooked dessert. Ensure the water level reaches halfway up the sides of the pudding dish.
  • Allow the pudding to cool completely: Resist the urge to dig in immediately! Cooling the pudding allows it to set and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Lemon sponge pudding is a delightful treat that combines classic flavors and textures. With its zesty lemon aroma, light and fluffy sponge, and creamy custard filling, this dessert is sure to impress. Whether served as a comforting warm pudding or chilled for a refreshing summer treat, lemon sponge pudding is a versatile and delicious choice. Enjoy this timeless dessert with your loved ones, and don't forget to experiment with different lemon varieties or toppings to create your unique twist on this classic recipe. Happy baking!
