Ingredients
The main ingredients of the mini cakes are:

- Lemon: fresh lemon juice and zest.

How to make GF lemon pudding cake
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease individual ramekins.
In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with an electric mixer. Add the white granulated sugar, milk, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt, and beat until well incorporated.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Incorporate the egg whites into the yolk mixture with a rubber spatula and involve movements.
Fill the ramekins and place them on a baking sheet. Fill the baking sheet with water up to 1 centimeter.
Bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Keep in mind that all ovens are different.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately with fresh fruits or whipped cream.
Storing
It’s always best to eat it warm at the moment. If there is any leftover, store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and warm it before eating it. Do not recommend freezing them.
Serving options
- Whipped cream: take the dessert out of the oven and place a scoop of whipped cream on it, and serve it immediately.
- Fruits: serve with sliced fresh fruits, like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, plums, and so on.
- Cookie: GF cookie to scoop out the dessert.
