LEMON CAKES
In the "A Song of Ice and Fire" book series (later known on television as "Game of Thrones"), George R.R. Martin devotes a lot of ink to lemon cakes, a favorite of the Lady of Winterfell Sansa Stark. The cakes have since become a pop culture totem for fans of the series. This recipe is inspired by a version found in "A Feast of Ice and Fire: The Official Game of Thrones Companion Cookbook" by Chelsea Monroe-Cassel and Sariann Lehrer. You don't need to be a fan of "Game of Thrones" to love these cookielike treats, which are dense in texture, bright in flavor and boast a tart-sweet lemon glaze. The cakes are easy to throw together for a potluck or to satisfy a teatime craving.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and granulated sugar. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two knives to form crumbs with some pebbly bits, then zest the lemons directly into the bowl. In another small bowl, combine the egg and egg yolks. Squeeze 1 tablespoon juice from a lemon and mix into the eggs. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture, and gently stir until the dough comes together.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and space 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets. Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until the tops look just set and dry, 12 to 13 minutes. Cool completely on the sheets.
- Place the confectioners' sugar in a small bowl. Squeeze 1 1/2 teaspoons juice from a lemon, and stir into the confectioners' sugar until smooth and the consistency of icing. Add more lemon juice if needed. Drizzle over the cooled cookies. Let stand until set.
EAST 62ND STREET LEMON CAKE
Maida Heatter's famous lemon cake first appeared in The Times in a 1970s feature highlighting a few of her best-loved cake recipes. This one was actually found by her daughter, Toni Evins Marks, who lived on East 62nd Street at the time. Ms. Marks, who went on to illustrate a number of Ms. Heatter's cookbooks, sent it to her mother. She tinkered with it and renamed it. The cake, which is tender, moist and scented with lemon zest, is brushed with a simple glaze of lemon juice and sugar when it's still warm so it soaks into the cake. It's a timeless dessert that's perfect for practically any celebration. (Note: Some readers have mentioned in the notes below the recipe that "Maida Heatter's Book of Great Desserts" instructs you to bake this cake at 350 degrees. Our recipe, the one that Craig Claiborne ran in 1970, before Ms. Heatter's book was published, indicates 325. Either will work, but if you bake at 350, start checking for doneness just before the hour mark.)

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 9‐inch tube pan. Coat it with the bread crumbs.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar together. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
- Fold in the dry ingredients alternately with the milk. Stir in the lemon zest. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top of the batter. Bake 1¼ hours, or until the cake tests done.
- While the cake bakes, make the glaze. Warm the juice and sugar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until all of the sugar is dissolved. Cover and remove from heat.
- When the cake is done, immediately unmold the cake onto a cake rack and apply the glaze with a pastry brush to the top and sides of the cake until it is all absorbed.

LEMON PUDDING CAKES WITH SUGARED RASPBERRIES
Pudding cakes are magical sweets, baking up into two distinct layers from a single, straightforward batter. On top is an airy sponge cake that puffs in the oven's heat. Right beneath it is the pudding, a creamy lemon curd that's tangy and bracing thanks to a dash of buttermilk. Although these cakes are at their most tender when served within an hour of baking, they'll still be delicious at room temperature. Or chill them overnight and serve them straight from the fridge. The cake won't be as fluffy, but the lemon flavor will still shine bright. Feel free to use whatever ripe, juicy fruit you like here in place of the raspberries, or skip the fruit entirely.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter 6 (8-ounce) ramekins. Place them in any large baking pan where they can sit without touching one another, such as a 9-by-13-inch pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together butter, egg yolks, 3/4 cup sugar, buttermilk, lemon zest and juice, and salt until smooth. Whisk in the flour until well combined.
- Using an electric mixer (either handheld or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), beat egg whites on medium speed until they are thick, white and very foamy, 2 to 4 minutes. Increase speed to high and gradually beat in remaining 1/4 cup sugar, continuing to beat until stiff and glossy peaks form, about 2 to 3 minutes longer.
- Using a rubber spatula, gently fold about a third of the egg whites into the lemon mixture, taking care not to deflate the whites. When no white streaks remain, fold in remaining whites, working carefully. Stop folding when most of the second batch of whites are mixed in, but a few white streaks remain.
- Spoon the batter into the ramekins. Transfer the pan of ramekins to the oven. Carefully, so you don't splash the cakes, pour enough very hot tap water into the pan to come about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. The higher the water level, the more pudding and less cake you'll have.
- Bake until the puddings are puffed and lightly browned on top, 35 to 40 minutes. Take care not to overbake, or there won't be any pudding at the bottom of the ramekins. Carefully transfer the ramekins from the pan to a rack to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. (The combination of tongs or a spatula, plus oven mitts, works well for moving the cakes.)
- As the cakes bake, mix the raspberries and a few pinches of sugar in a bowl, mashing the raspberries slightly to release their juices. Let the raspberries macerate until the sugar melts, about 15 minutes. Then, taste and stir in more sugar if the berries are very tart.
- Serve the cakes warm or at room temperature, with the sugared berries and some of their syrup.
LEMON PUDDING CAKE
A moist lemon cake sits atop a delicate custard in this recipe, adapted from Ian Knauer's book "The Farm." The magic is in the cooking: Setting a 8-inch baking dish in a roasting pan filled halfway with water allows the custard to form while the top bakes. It's an excellent party dish, warm and just out of the oven. But it's equally as good out of the fridge, its flavors melded and mellowed.
