Lemon Sun Cakes With Berries And Cream
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 cup raspberries (4 oz)
- 1 cup blueberries (5 oz)
- 1 cup blackberries (5 oz)
- 1 cup strawberries (4 oz), sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 3 tablespoons superfine granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup chilled heavy cream
- Garnish: white and red currants or other fresh berries
- 6 (5-oz) fluted brioche molds (4 inches across top) or a muffin tin with 6 (5- to 6-oz) muffin cups
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Generously butter molds and put on a baking sheet.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, zest, and salt.
- Beat together butter and sugar with an electric mixer at high speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla until just incorporated. Add milk and beat until just combined (mixture will appear curdled). Reduce speed to low, then add flour mixture in 3 batches, beating until just combined after each addition.
- Divide batter among molds, filling each mold about two-thirds full. Bake until edges of cakes are golden and a wooden pick inserted in center of a cake comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool cakes in molds on a rack 5 minutes, then turn out onto rack and cool completely.
- While cakes cool, pulse 1/2 cup each of raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries (all together) with 2 tablespoons superfine sugar in a food processor until fruit is just crushed. Chill, covered, up to 2 hours.
- Beat cream with remaining tablespoon superfine sugar using cleaned beaters at medium-high speed until it just forms soft peaks. Chill, covered, until ready to serve (but no longer than 2 hours).
- Arrange cakes upside down on 6 plates and top each with 2 rounded tablespoons whipped cream and 1 rounded tablespoon crushed berries. Scatter remaining whole berries over top and serve remaining crushed berries on the side.
