1. Butter 4 x 150ml plastic pudding moulds. Whizz the butter, sugar and lemon zest in a food processor until pale and fluffy. Mix in the eggs one by one. Add the flour and pulse until incorporated. Divide between the moulds then cover with a lid or clingfilm and microwave on medium (650w) for 4 minutes. Heat the lemon curd with a squeeze of lemon juice in a small pan. Spoon over the top and serve.

Wash unwaxed lemons in warm water before zesting. The zest contains the oil with all the flavour.

  Absolutely fantastic, extremely quick preparation and cooking time. The lemon curd gives it a really zesty flavour, very tasty. I've made this many times over for friends and family - no-one yet has been able to believe it's made in the microwave. The taste and texture are as good as any steamed/baked sponge pudding.

  this recipe really surprised me. I prepared the batter before hand and cooked it in the microwave just in time for dessert. Just a hint if you cook one in the microwave reduce cooking time!

  Top marks for ease! However, do make sure your microwave is on medium - I ended up with one burnt cake!!

  Trying to plan ahead for a dinner party and was wondering how far in advance it is possible to make the batter or whether the sponge can be frozen after cooking?
