Notes
- Tip 1: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll keep for up to three days, but they are best enjoyed fresh!
- Tip 2: You can freeze the unbaked batter in the ramekins. Just cover them tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for up to a month. Bake directly from frozen; just add a few minutes to the baking time.
- Tip 3: These cakes pair wonderfully with a light summer salad or a scoop of sorbet for a refreshing dessert.
- Tip 4: Experiment with different fruits like nectarines or berries for a unique twist. Each fruit brings its own flavor profile!
- Tip 5: Serve warm for the best experience, but they’re also delightful at room temperature with a dusting of powdered sugar.
