  This sound nice. But can I use an oven instead of the microwave? I hate microwave. If yes please give me instructions.

  Made this twice now. Very easy and simple to make. Goes down very nicely and does not last very long, between myself and my brother!! Find I have to leave in the microwave for an extra minute or two. And I use slightly more lemon curd than stated. A good make of lemon curd is recommended. Great pudding to make if you do not have a lot of time, or if unexpected guests turn up.

  I had no lemons and no cocoa so I used orange essence instead of vanilla and stirred in some choc chips then served with ambrosia chocolate custard cold from the fridge .... delicious, my 7 year old scrummed it up!!! fantastic recipe and obviously versatile!l

  I made the chocolate version the other night and it turned out fantastic, even using the wrong quantities....125g of everything instead of 100g! Adding a good dessert spoon of Sainsbo's Taste the Difference Valencian Orange gave it depth, plus a 200g bar of roughly chopped chocolate melted to make a lovely rich sauce. There were NO leftovers!

  We love this, it is so easy and fast, just what you need for a last minute pudding. I put the lemon curd in the bottom of the pudding bowl then put the mixture on top just, in my microwave 750w it takes about 5 mins.

  Made the chocolate version of this pudding last night, again it was great, really quick and simple. Made chocolate custard to go with it. Everyone loved it. Again in my 750w microwave it took about 5 mins.

  Made this tonight as I was fancying something sweet but easy to make and it was lovely! I put some golden syrup in the bottom of the bowl before adding the sponge mixture, I would say it took 5 mins in my microwave but it was light and fluffy, the lemon zest went well with the syrup. I will definitely be making again and I will be trying the other combo's.

  I have to say I was very sceptical, even after reading all the reviews. Well I've just made it and it's the lightest sponge I have ever tasted, will definitely be making it again, probably try it with Golden syrup next time.

  I made the chocolate version of this for pudding today. I was pleasantly surprised how light and tasty it was. Will def do this again...so fast and simple to make. I left out the vanilla essence and reduced flour by 25g due to addition of cocoa. I also put in choc chips and served with ice cream. Would serve with a choc sauce next time to make it more delish! :)

  I've made both lemon and chocolate versions of this sponge and it is delicious either way! Going to try a few variations to find my favourite. Perfect for when you are in a hurry or just in the mood for something yummy. :)

  This is a firm favourite in our household...the children are always asking for when we can have it next ! I agree with some of the previous comments about the cooking time taking a little longer than stated (800w microwave) however I keep cooking for about a minute or so beyond the time stated and use a skewer to test the sponge at regular intervals until it comes clean. I have also made it with a homemade butterscotch sauce...also a big hit !!

  THIS, is one of the BEST puddings EVER!!! My 12 year old made it all in one bowl today after Sunday lunch; AMAZINGLY fast and simple. We had it with creme fraiche and vanilla ice cream. We can't wait to try the chocolate one. Thanks for a great recipe.
