A delightful blend of textures and flavors, this Traditional Irish Lemon Pudding Cake features a soft cake layer and fluffy meringue, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 units egg (separated)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for yolks)
  • 4 tbsp granulated sugar (for meringue)
  • 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. Place this dish in a larger roasting pan.
  2. Whisk the egg yolks with 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar and all of the lemon zest until the mixture is pale and creamy.
  3. Stir in the melted butter and flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk and lemon juice until fully combined.
  4. Beat the egg whites with the salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 4 tablespoons of sugar and continue to beat until stiff glossy peaks form.
  5. Pour the lemon-yolk mixture into the prepared baking dish. Gently spoon the beaten egg whites over the top without stirring.
  6. Carefully pour hot water into the larger roasting pan around the baking dish until the water comes 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 just set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  8. Remove the baking dish from the water bath and let the pudding cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Best served warm or at room temperature. Pair with whipped cream or ice cream for an enhanced experience.
