Lemon-Berry Pudding Cake



3 eggs
Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup fresh fresh blueberries and/or fresh red raspberries
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons finely shredded lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup fat-free milk
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons tub-style vegetable oil spread
Powdered sugar (optional)

1. Let eggs stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, coat a 2-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place berries in cooker and sprinkle with the 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
2. For batter, separate eggs. In a medium bowl combine the 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the flour, lemon peel, and salt. Add milk, lemon juice, vegetable oil spread, and egg yolks. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until combined. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute.
3. Thoroughly wash beaters. In another bowl beat egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form (tips curl). Fold egg whites into batter. Carefully pour batter over berries in cooker, spreading evenly.
4. Cover and cook on high-heat setting for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. If cake begins to look too brown on one side, rotate the crockery liner 180 degrees halfway through cooking. Turn off cooker. If possible remove crockery liner from cooker; cool, uncovered, for 1 hour on a wire rack before serving.
5. If desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
