Dandy Meyer Lemon Pudding Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, beat cake mix and water with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes. Divide batter between 12 ungreased mini angel food (tube) cake pans.
• Bake about 35 minutes or until dark golden brown and tops spring back when touched lightly. Turn pans upside down onto cooling rack; cool completely. Run knife around edge of cakes; remove from pans.
• In medium bowl, beat pudding mix and milk with whisk 2 minutes. Let stand until set, about 5 minutes.
• To serve, place each cake on dessert plate. Spoon pudding into center of cake. Garnish with blueberries and lemon peel.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F Lightly grease a 9x 5-inch loaf pan or a 6-cup soufflé dish.
• With an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Separate eggs yolks and whites. Add yolks to butter mixture and beat well. Add lemon juice, salt and flour; beat well. Add milk; stir until well blended.
• Beat egg whites until stiff. Gently fold into lemon mixture. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 minutes, covering with foil for the last 10 minutes if the top gets too brown. Serve warm or chilled with berries. Serves 6.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• In a mixing bowl beat the egg whites and 1/4 cup sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
• In a small bowl mix together the sugar and flour and set aside.
• In another bowl stir together the lemon juice, melted butter, and lemon zest. Add this to the flour mixture and stir well.
• In yet another bowl whisk the egg yolks and the buttermilk. Add to the lemon mixture and stir well. If you are using regular lemons, taste to be sure the mixture is sweet enough.
• Using a rubber spatula, fold the beaten egg whites into the lemon-egg yolk mixture.
• Butter and sugar 6 soufflé cups or ramekins and fill 3/4 full. Bake in a water bath until top feels slightly firm, about 40 minutes. Do not brown.
• Let cool to room temperature and then chill for 2 hours to overnight. The pudding cakes can be served in the ramekins with the cake on top, or inverted onto plates so that the pudding layer is on top.
• Whip cream and a teaspoon of the sugar together and set aside.
• To serve, garnish the chilled cakes with a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle a little zest on top.

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.
