Cook time: 45 min
Total time: 1 h 30 min
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients: 1 1/4 cups (310 ml) milk; 3 lemons, zest finely grated; 2 oranges, zest finely grated; 1/2 cup (125 ml) lemon juice; 1/2 cup (125 ml) orange juice; 4 eggs, separated; 1/2 cup (75 g) unbleached all-purpose flour; 1/4 tsp salt; 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened; 1/2 cup (105 g) sugar; 1/2 cup (105 g) brown sugar

Preparation

- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter an 8-inch (20 cm) square pan.
- In a measuring cup, combine the milk with the citrus zest and juice. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine the flour and salt.
- In a third bowl, cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar with an electric mixer. Whisk in the egg yolks one at a time until smooth. Stir in the flour mixture alternating with the milk mixture. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Using a whisk, fold the whipped egg whites into the batter in three additions. Spread the batter out in the prepared pan.
- Place the pan in a large baking dish. Add enough hot water to the baking dish to come one-third of the way up the sides of the pan.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Serve warm.
