Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 2-quart (2-liter) baking dish or a series of smaller ramekins.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or beat by hand.
Add the egg yolks to the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Mix in the lemon juice until well combined. Gradually add the self-raising flour, mixing continuously until the batter is smooth.
Slowly add the milk, continuing to mix until you have a smooth and homogenous batter. The mixture may look slightly curdled, but that's okay.
In a separate clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This can be achieved using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the lemon batter. Take care to combine them thoroughly but gently to maintain the airiness of the egg whites.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish or ramekins. Smooth the surface if necessary.
Place the dish or ramekins in a water bath to ensure even baking. (Use a larger pan, place the dish inside, and fill the larger pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the baking dish.) Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and the cake is set with a slight wobble in the center.
Let the Lemon Delicious cool slightly before serving. You can serve it warm or at room temperature, with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream if desired!
Tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start; this will ensure they blend together smoothly.
- Beat eggs thoroughly until light and fluffy to give your dessert the right texture.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice can sometimes be too harsh or sour.
- Do not overmix the batter; mix just until the ingredients are combined to maintain a light texture.
- Bake until the top is golden and the dessert is set but still slightly wobbly in the center for the best results.
In just a few steps, you can create a delightful Lemon Delicious dessert that will impress your family and friends. Its perfect balance of tartness and sweetness, along with its light and airy texture, make it an ideal dish for any occasion. Enjoy your homemade Lemon Delicious and share the joy of this refreshing dessert!
