Lemon Cakes

May 10, 2011 1 Comment

I’ve had a serious crush on Tom Colicchio since the first season of Top Chef. He’s bald, but so sexy! I think it’s his wry stoicism that really does it for me. Not to mention, he can cook. So, when I found out that he was also responsible for bringing food trucks serving a menu inspired by one of my favorite fantasy books to the streets of NY and LA, my cup of love for him runneth over.
One of the items on the Game of Thrones-inspired food truck menu is a treat that is much loved by many of the book’s characters: lemon cakes. I’d always pictured them to be like mini lemon bars, but Tom’s creation is a little more elegant — miniature cakes baked in ramekins set in a water bath, with the result being that the bottom of the cake is light and spongy, while the top of the cake stays dense and custard-y. I had trouble un-molding my cakes, so my end product was not nearly as pretty as Tom’s cakes. But, the intended layers were all there, and each creamy morsel was packed with lemony good flavor. Yum!
