Nigel Day's Lemon Pudding Surprise Cake
« on: June 16, 2012, 01:58:08 am »
Nigel Day posted this recipe in cakes way back in August 2008.  As it makes a lovely dessert I have copied it here to ensure it is easy to find.  The original posting is here if you want to read reviews and hints.

Name of Recipe: Lemon Pudding Surprise Cake
Number of People:
Ingredients:

2 large lemons, skin of 1 and juice of both
230g granulated sugar
4 eggs, separated
25g butter
50g plain flour
500g milk


Preparation:

1. Thinly peel the skin from 1 of the lemons. Add the peelings and the sugar to the TM bowl. Grind 20 seconds/ Speed 10.

2. Add lemon juice from both lemons, egg yolks, butter, flour and milk. Mix 30 seconds/Speed 8. Pour out into a large bowl if you only have one TM bowl.

3. Wash your TM bowl (or use your second TM bowl) with hot soapy water and dry it so it is entirely grease-free.

4. Insert Butterfly Whisk and whisk the egg whites 2 minutes/Speed 4 until they are stiff peaks. Remove Butterfly Whisk.

5. Pour egg yolk mixture into the TM bowl with the egg whites. Mix 15 seconds/Speed 3.

6. Scrape down the sides of the TM bowl with the spatula. Mix again 5 seconds/Speed 3 then pour into a buttered oven-proof dish.

7. Set the dish into a roasting pan and pour boiling water from the kettle into the roasting pan so water comes halfway
up the sides of the pudding dish.

8. Bake 35 minutes at 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.

deedub -  This was lovely. The bottom was very runny though - is that what it's meant to be like or should I have cooked it for longer? It was all very yummy, and top part was soooo light!

cookie1 - It sounds like a lemon delicious sort of thing and that is runny on the bottom and almost cake like on the top. We had this tonight. It brought back memories.

GF - Forgot just how easy it is! A lovely "Lemon Delicious"..

Sounds lovely. I think I will use my handheld mixer to beat the egg whites. Save washing my bowl and I don't trust beating egg whites in TMX.
