This is one of my favorite Spring/Summer desserts. (Jill, even though you hate cooked fruits, you might like it -- the blackberries don't really get mushy or anything.) I haven't made it for quite awhile, and kind of forgot about it until I was at Costco the other day and bought a package of beautiful blackberries. I made it last night. Yum. By the way, I am a big Cooking Light fan; I've been subscribing for years and years and they have great recipes. Their website is very cool, too. (This is 6 points for you Weight Watchers fans.)
Blackberry-Lemon Pudding Cake
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons stick margarine or butter, melted
2 large egg yolks
3 large egg whites (at room temperature)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups blackberries, blueberries, or raspberries
Cooking spray
3/4 teaspoon powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350°.
Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, 2/3 cup granulated sugar, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl; add buttermilk, rind, juice, margarine, and egg yolks, stirring with a whisk until smooth.
Beat egg whites at high speed of a mixer until foamy. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently stir one-fourth of egg white mixture into buttermilk mixture; gently fold in remaining egg white mixture. Fold in blackberries.
Pour batter into an 8-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Place in a larger baking pan; add hot water to larger pan to depth of 1 inch. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly in center. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
Yield: 5 servings (serving size: 1 cup)

It looks delicious. I'm excited for a blackberry recipe, because we are going blackberry/blueberry picking next week. Last year we just ate them, so it will be fun to have a recipe to use them in.
Thanks! Oh and I love Cooking Light.
You've made this for me before, and I can attest it is oh, so good. Thanks- wishing I had it now. ALso wishing I had more than 5 points left to eat today. :P
damn points.
This makes my mouth water and that says so much since nothing seems to sound very good to me these days. I'm going to try this ASAP! Thank you for the inspriration!
Your dessert looks great. I too am not a big fan of cooked fruit. But my husband is and loves any kind of cobbler, pie, etc. I will have to try this one out. It is also a major bonus on the WW points!
I am going to try it. My little Alexei loves blueberries and they are soooo good for you! Thank you for the recipe. I am going to definately try it!
This looks great- I will have to add it to my list of things to make. Thanks for posting it!
Yummm! I was very tempted to buy blueberries at Costco the other day. Now I really have a reason to. I didn't know you're a Cooking Light fan. I always eye the magazine, I've bought one of their annual cookbooks, but I've never made one of their recipes. Now that I know, I'll have to do something about that.
Thanks for sharing--I'm in desperate need of receipe renovation! I feel like I make the same things over and over and over. I want to cook healthy meals, but I'm in a cooking stalemate. Of course, it doesn't help that the weather here has been in the high nineties and we have no cooling sysmtem (other than dozens of loud fans) in our house....
Cooked fruit, but not mushy? I'd have to see that to believe it. The picture is pretty though.
