How to Make Rosemary Lemon Custard Cakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Beat 4 large egg whites with a mixer on medium-high speed until foamy.
  3. Gradually add 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  5. In a separate bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar on medium speed for approximately 5 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  6. Add 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  7. Beat until just combined.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks, 1 cup (240ml) whole milk, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary.
  9. Add the yolk mixture to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
  10. Gently fold 1/4 of the egg whites into the batter to lighten it.
  11. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the batter.
  12. Spoon the batter evenly into 6 (6-ounce) custard cups coated with nonstick cooking spray.
  13. Place the custard cups in a shallow baking pan.
  14. Carefully pour hot water into the baking pan, reaching about 1 inch up the sides of the custard cups.
  15. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  16. Let the cakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  17. Serve and enjoy!
