Lemon cupcakes topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 100 g of sugar
- 3 tbsp. premium flour
- 1.5 tsp finely grated lemon zest
- A pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 160 ml semi-skimmed milk 3%
- 1 large egg at room temperature, whites separated from yolks
- A large handful of assorted fresh or frozen berries (such as raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries)
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 175°C. Grease four 150ml ramekins and sprinkle them with sugar, removing any excess. Place them in a large dish (such as a baking dish).
- Spread the berries evenly over the bottom of each ramekin.
- Combine sugar, flour, lemon zest, and salt. Add lemon juice, semi-skimmed milk, and egg yolks. Whisk until smooth. Beat 2 egg whites until soft peaks form when the whisk is lifted. Fold them into the batter until fully combined.
- Divide the mixture among the ramekins. Pour boiling water into a large bowl and bake for about 35 minutes, until golden brown on top. Let the cupcakes cool in a water bath for 15 minutes.
- Then remove the ramekins and either continue cooling on a wire rack or invert the cakes onto a plate so the berries and lemon sauce are on top. Serve warm or at room temperature.
