Ingredients
  

Cake

  • 4 eggs separated
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup fresh squeezed Meyer lemon juice from about 3-4 lemons
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 Meyer lemons zest finely grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Garnish

  • 2-3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions
 

  • About 15 minutes before you are ready to start, melt the butter in a small saucepan over a medium-low setting. Once it has melted, measure it into a bowl and allow it to come back to room temperature.
  • When you are ready, pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees, and lightly grease an 8-inch round casserole or souffle dish.
  • Once it it room temperature again, beat the butter until it is light and fluffy in texture.
  • Add the sugar, flour, Meyer lemon juice and zest, sour cream, and salt, beating constantly until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff, and glossy peaks form.
  • Fold the egg whites into the lemony yolk mixture one third at a time, folding it over only just enough to incorporate it into the batter. Repeat three times until done.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared dish.
  • Bake for about 40 minutes, until the custard is set and the top is a golden brown color.
  • Allow the cake to cool for about 15 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar, and serve topped with blueberries.

Notes

Note: You’ll use 3 to 4 Meyer lemons in total – two only for their zest, all to make up the right amount of juice. You can also use a 9” x 9” square baking pan for a slightly thinner cake. Bake for only 30 minutes.
