How to Make Blackberry Lemon Pudding Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
  2. Whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg in a large bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, lemon zest, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup melted butter, and 3 egg yolks until smooth.
  4. In a clean bowl, beat 3 egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  5. Gently fold one-fourth of the egg white mixture into the buttermilk mixture to lighten it.
  6. Gently fold in the remaining egg white mixture until just combined.
  7. Fold in 1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
  9. Place the baking pan in a larger roasting pan.
  10. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the smaller pan (about 1 inch).
  11. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and serving warm.
