Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Place the yolks, sugar, milk, flour, and salt in a large bowl and whisk until smooth.
  • Whisk in the lemon zest and juice.
  • Whip the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks.
  • Add about 1/3 of the lemon mixture to the whipped egg whites, and fold together until combined.
  • Fold in the remaining lemon mixture, and transfer the batter to (4) 6-ounce ramekins.*
  • Place the unbaked cakes in a larger baking dish and pour hot water all around, until it comes about halfway up the sides of the pan.
  • Bake until puffy and springy to the touch (the cakes should be just barely beginning to turn golden around the edges); about 40 to 45 minutes.
