BURST OF CITRUS SPONGE PUDDING
As this bakes, a foamy cake layer will form on top, with an airy custardy pudding forming on the bottom. Adapted from an old issue of McCall's magazine. I haven't tried this one yet, but wanted to share it. Garnish with powdered sugar, a handful of fresh raspberries, and a few slices of orange if you like.

Steps:
- Fill a large roasting pan 1/2-inch high with hot tap water and set into the center of your oven.
- Turn oven on to 350 F and let it preheat while the water bath is still in there.
- Carefully separate eggs into whites and yolks.
- In a large bowl, beat egg whites on high speed until foamy, then gradually beat in just 1/4 cup of the sugar until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, beat egg yolks, remaining sugar, butter, flour, lemon& orange zests and beat on high for 3 minutes (scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed to make sure all batter gets combined well).
- On low speed, slowly add juices and milk to the butter mixture,just until blended.
- Fold in egg whites by hand and mix very gently until no white streaks remain.
- Pour into a shallow oval pan (about 2-quart capacity) and set carefully into the baking pan with the hot water in the oven.
- Bake 55-60 minutes until top is puffed and lightly golden.
- Remove pan from water bath and let cool on rack.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm or chilled.
LEMON OR ORANGE SPONGE CUSTARD (PUDDING)
From that old standby, The Joy of Cooking. It makes a dessert that has a pudding/custard bottom with a spongy top. I have not decided over the many years I have cooked this if the orange or lemon is my favorite. If I could not have chocolate on a desert island, I would want lemon. I serve it only for company, for some reason, so my friends for four decades get it tomorrow night! Watch the oven carefully; you want the top browned, but not burned.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Butter a loaf pan (not PAM, use butter) or ramekins.
- Cream butter, sugar, fruit rind.
- Add egg yolks and beat well.
- Stir in flour.
- Add fruit juice and milk alternately (add a little juice and mix; then add a little milk and mix, and repeat until liquid all gone).
- Fold in beaten egg whites.
- Pour into baking dish.
- Place baking dish in larger pan with about 1" water.
- Carefully place in oven; water will slosh about, so move slowly.
- Bake about 45 minutes for ramekins (I have not used ramekins, so check often) or 1 hour for loaf pan. Adjust oven temperature if top is browning too fast. REMOVE FROM OVEN VERY CAREFULLY OR YOU WILL SLOSH BOILING WATER ON YOU.
- Serve warm or cold.
- The recipe says it can be served with a raspberry sauce (I suppose just for the lemon). I have not done this, as it is scrumptious all on its own.
- Serves 4 generous portions; 6 if you just want to tease everyone.
