Lemon Pudding Cake With Raspberry Coulis Food

LEMON PUDDING CAKE WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Whip the egg yolks and 1 cup of the sugar until it reaches the ribbon stage. Add the flour and mix well. Whisk in the lemon juice, salt and milk until completely combined. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add a 1/2 cup of the sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the lemon mixture. Pour the batter into a plastic wrap-lined 9 by 13-inch pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove the cake from the oven and let cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• To make the raspberry sauce: Reserve 16 raspberries for the garnish. Puree the remaining berries with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar for 2 minutes, or until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
• Place a piece of plastic wrap over the pudding cake and flip it onto a flat surface. Cut eight 3-inch circles with a ring cutter. Serve with sauce and garnish with raspberries.

RASPBERRY LEMON PUDDING CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Lightly oil six ovenproof custard cups or six 8 oz ramekins.
• Place the cups in a 2 inch deep baking pan.
• Begin to heat water to add to the pan just before baking.
• In a bowl, combine the lemon juice with the cornstarch.
• Add the raspberries and 1/2 cup of the sugar and toss lightly.
• In a separate bowl, with an electric mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites till stiff; set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks and buttermilk with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar.
• Beat in the lemon peel, vanilla, salt, flour and baking powder.
• Gently stir in the raspberry mixture, then fold in the beaten egg whites.
• Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared cups.
• Pour very hot water into the baking pan till the water reaches about halfway up the sides of the cups.
• Bake until puffed, firm on top and golden, 40-50 minutes.
• Refrigerate and serve chilled.

LEMON RASPBERRY CAKES

Steps:

• For the cakes: Grease 18 mini Bundt pan cavities with the baking spray.
• Prepare the cake mix with the vegetable oil, eggs and 1 cup water according to the package instructions. Divide the batter among the cavities of the mini Bundt pans. Bake until cooked through, 20 to 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 30 minutes, then flip them out of the pans.
• Make the icing: Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a bowl until very thick but still pourable. Fold in the raspberry preserves.
• Pour a tablespoon of icing over each of the cakes, letting it drip down the sides. Zest the lemons over the cakes.

LEMON PUDDING CAKES WITH SUGARED 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 PUDDING CAKE WITH A RASPBERRY COULIS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Butter and lightly sugar 4 ramekins (about 1-cup size).
• 2. In a mixer, add egg yolks, buttermilk, lemon juice and lemon zest and beat until well combined. Reduce the speed to low and sift in flour, sugar and salt. Continue to mix until combined.
• 3. Beat egg whites until you get stiff peaks then combine the 2 mixtures by gently folding them together, a little at a time.
• 4. Divide evenly amongst ramekins then bake in a water bath - set ramekins in a roasting tray and fill with water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
• 5. Bake for 60 minutes until the top springs back when gently pressed and the cakes have a nice golden brown color. Allow to cool slightly.
• 6. For Coulis: Blend the raspberries, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla in a blender or food processor. There will be some chunks of fruit left in the mixture.
• 7. Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing on the fruit to release all of the juices. Strain out all the seeds and fruit bits
• 8. To serve, spoon some of the raspberry sauce in the center of each plate then carefully invert each cake onto a plate. Place 2 raspberries in the center of each cake for garnish.

LEMON & RASPBERRY MOUSSE WITH PISTACHIO & GINGER SHORTBREAD

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 4. For the shortbread, butter a 20cm shallow cake or tart tin. Whisk the butter and sugar together until pale and well-combined, then fold in both gingers, the pistachios and a pinch of salt. Sift in the flour and knead to a soft dough in the bowl. Tip into the tin and press the mixture into the base in an even layer.
• Bake for 25-30 mins until pale golden and dry-looking. Cut the shortbread into slices or wedges while hot, then leave to cool in the tin - it will firm up as it cools. Sprinkle with the ½ tbsp caster sugar.
• To make the mousse, whip the double cream, lemon zest, lemon curd and yogurt in a bowl with an electric whisk until soft peaks form. Spoon into small serving glasses or ramekins and chill.
• Mash half the raspberries with the icing sugar using a fork, or purée in a small blender along with any defrosting juices to make a coulis. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
• To serve, spoon the coulis over the mousses, garnish with the remaining raspberries and serve with the shortbread wedges alongside.

LEMON PUDDING WITH RASPBERRY COULIS AND BERRIES

Steps:

• 1. Make coulis - simmer raspberries in 1/2 -3/4 cup water until very soft and have lost their color. Crush with spoon as they cook. Strain and discard seeds and remaining mass. Put strained raspberry liquid back into pot with sugar. Bring to boil, lower heat and simmer until liquid reduces and thickens. Cool.
• 2. Make lemon pudding according to package directions. Pour into 4 individual serving containers.
• 3. To serve - pour 1/4 of the chilled coulis on the pudding in each bowl. Sprinkle some blueberries on the coulis and top with a generous squirt of whipped cream.
