MARGARET ATWOOD'S BAKED LEMON CUSTARD CAKE



Margaret Atwood's Baked Lemon Custard Cake image

This is a really neat recipe because, as the batter bakes, it separates into two distinctive layers - cake on top and custard on the bottom. It looks very impressive, guests will have no idea how simple it is to prepare! This custard/cake has a very bold lemony flavour. (It also works well with Splenda so can be modified for diabetics.) If you don't have individual ramekins, this can be made in a deep pie pan or an 8x8 baking pan. Margaret Atwood is an iconic Canadian author and the recipe was published in Bon Appétit (Jan. 2006).
