A vibrant and uplifting dessert that combines the bright flavor of lemon with a light and fluffy cake texture, perfect for celebrating spring.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 unit egg (separated)
  • 6 tbsp granulated sugar (divided)
  • 1 unit lemon (zested and juiced)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tsp butter (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 1-quart baking dish with the butter.
  2. Whisk the egg yolks together with 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar and all of the lemon zest until pale and creamy.
  3. Stir in the melted butter and flour until smooth, then gradually whisk in the milk and lemon juice until fully combined.
  4. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form and gradually add the remaining 4 tablespoons of sugar until stiff peaks form.
  5. Pour the lemon-yolk mixture into the prepared baking dish and gently spoon the beaten egg whites on top.
  6. Carefully pour hot water into the larger roasting pan around the baking dish until halfway up the sides of the dish.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is slightly jiggly in the center.
  8. Remove from the water bath and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream and garnish with mint or fresh berries for a beautiful presentation.
