Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups raspberries
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 cups whole milk
- 0.25 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cups powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 2-quart baking dish or six individual ramekins.
Spread the raspberries evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish or ramekins. If using frozen raspberries, ensure they are thawed and drained.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Add the egg yolks, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the cooled butter, and whisk until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring until thoroughly combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter, being careful to maintain the airy texture.
Pour the batter evenly over the raspberries in the baking dish or ramekins. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
Place the baking dish or ramekins in a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the dish or ramekins, creating a water bath to ensure even baking.
Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the top of the cake is golden brown and set. The bottom layer will remain pudding-like.
Remove the baking dish or ramekins from the water bath and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
