Buttermilk Pudding Cakes Recipes

BUTTERMILK PUDDING CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees with a rack positioned in the top third of the oven.
• Sift together flour and baking powder in a large bowl. In another large bowl beat eggs until creamy and yellow. Whisk in buttermilk, vanilla, 5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar, and butter (mixture will look curdled and broken). Slowly add flour and whisk until batter is smooth and combined.
• Spray 8 standard-size (3-ounce) nonstick muffin pan cups with nonstick cooking spray. Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin pan cups, filling about two-thirds full. Transfer to oven and bake until sides of cakes are evenly browned (check by inserting a knife tip between the rim of cake and muffin cup, pulling gently to expose side of cake), about 9 minutes. If cakes are not evenly browned, they will not hold together when inverted. Continue baking, checking every minute, until evenly browned.
• Meanwhile, place raspberries in a medium bowl; add remaining 4 tablespoons sugar and gently toss to coat.
• Invert cakes onto eight individual plates. Place berries on top and alongside cakes; serve with whipped cream, if desired.

• Fold the egg whites into the cake mixture with a whisk or spatula, and pour into a non reactive 8x8 baking pan that has been sprayed or buttered.
• Set the pan with the cake in a larger pan; pour hot water in the larger pan half way up the sides of the cake pan and carefully place in the oven.
