Preheat oven to 285 F

In a double boiler, melt together milk, cream cheese and butter. Set aside and cool.

once the mixture is cooled, add 6 egg yolks, lemon zest. Whisk like crazy (you don't want lumps or scrambled eggs)

To this mixture, add the flour and corn meal and whisk to get a smooth batter.

In a separate bowl or mixer , add all the 6 egg whites and beat on high, add the 1/4 cup sugar gradually until you have firm peaks in the egg whites.

Fold the egg whites gently into the first mixture.

Pour into a round cake pan and bake in a water bath (so you can set up a large turkey roaster with hot water inside and place the round cake pan into it).

If you are using a silicone bake pan you don't need to line it. If not, line it with parchment and butter to prevent sticking.

Bake for 40 minutes
