Key Lime Pudding Cake

 

  Bellagio Conservatory, Las Vegas NV

 

1 ½ c. sugar

½ c. flour

¼ tsp. salt

6 large eggs, separated

2 c. milk

1 T. lime zest

1/8 tsp. lime oil

1/3 c. Key lime juice

 

Pomegranate syrup

Preheat oven to 345 degrees F.  Butter an 8" x 10" baking dish.  Combine the sugar, flour and salt in a medium bowl.  Mix the lime zest and lime oil until the oil is absorbed.  In another bowl, beat together the egg yolks, milk, lime zest (and oil) and lime juice.  Pour the egg yolk mixture over the flour mixture and stir until blended.  Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks.  Gently fold the whites into the lime mixture and pour into the prepared baking pan.  Place the baking dish in a slightly larger roasting pan, set on the center rack of the oven, and pour in enough hot tap water to reach about halfway up the sides of the baking dish.  Bake until the surface of the pudding cake is slightly golden, 40 to 45 minutes.  Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 mins.   Serve with pomegranate syrup.  Adapted from a Bobby Flay recipe.
