Ingredients

  • 6 Tbsp butter
  • 6 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup Sunsweet® Amaz!n™ Diced Prunes
  • 1/3 cup marsala wine
  • Cake
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon extract
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 3/4 cup each: flour and instant or quick cooking polenta
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place 1 Tbsp butter in the bottom of each of the six 1 cup ramekins; microwave on HIGH for 1 minute or until butter is melted. Place 1 Tbsp of brown sugar in each. Simmer Amaz!ns™ in marsala for 5 minutes or until marsala is absorbed; place equal amounts in each ramekin and stir lightly to evenly coat the bottom of each dish. Beat egg whites in a medium bowl until soft peaks form; set aside. Beat sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in ricotta cheese then add egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition; stir in lemon juice, extract and zest. Stir together dry ingredients in a small bowl then stir into butter mixture. Stir 1/3 of the egg whites into batter then gently fold in the rest. Spoon equal amounts into each ramekin and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly, then run a small sharp knife around the edge to loosen cakes from ramekins. Invert onto 6 dessert plates.
