Burst Of Citrus Sponge Pudding
As this bakes, a foamy cake layer will form on top, with an airy custardy pudding forming on the bottom. Adapted from an old issue of mccall's magazine. I haven't tried this one yet, but wanted to share it. Garnish with powdered sugar, a handful of fresh raspberries, and a few slices of orange if you like.
Steps
Fill a large roasting pan 1 / 2-inch high with hot tap water and set into the center of your oven.
Turn oven on to 350 f and let it preheat while the water bath is still in there.
Carefully separate eggs into whites and yolks.
In a large bowl , beat egg whites on high speed until foamy , then gradually beat in just 1 / 4 cup of the sugar until stiff peaks form.
In another bowl , beat egg yolks , remaining sugar , butter , flour , lemon& orange zests and beat on high for 3 minutes.
On low speed , slowly add juices and milk to the butter mixture , just until blended.
Fold in egg whites by hand and mix very gently until no white streaks remain.
Pour into a shallow oval pan and set carefully into the baking pan with the hot water in the oven.
Bake 55-60 minutes until top is puffed and lightly golden.
Remove pan from water bath and let cool on rack.
