How to Make Meyer Lemon Pudding Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or a 6-cup soufflé dish.
  2. Cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
  3. Separate 3 large eggs, placing yolks in a bowl and whites in another.
  4. Beat the egg yolks into the butter mixture until well combined.
  5. Add 1/2 cup fresh Meyer lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour to the yolk mixture. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gradually add 1/2 cup milk, mixing until smooth.
  7. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the egg whites into the lemon batter until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cover loosely with foil during the last 10-15 minutes if the top begins to brown too quickly.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Serve warm or chilled, topped with fresh berries or raspberry sauce. Serves 6.
