Method
- Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160/gas gas 4. Whizz the butter, sugar and lemon zest until they are pale and creamy in a food processor. Add the lemon juice, egg yolks, flour and milk one by one until you have a smooth batter. Whisk the egg whites until firm but not stiff, and fold the two mixtures together.
- Pour into a buttered ovenproof soufflé or baking dish and put it in a baking tray half filled with hot water. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is lightly browned and set and there is a sort of gooey lemon curd below. Remove the dish from the tray, dust with icing sugar and serve hot, with or without cream.

Okay, so I totally forgot about the water bath thing and just stuck it in the oven...and guess what, it didn't matter..there was still a lovely, thick, gooey lemon curd at the bottom! Added blackberries to the bottom of the dish and it worked well.
Also don't have a food processor so did it all by hand and it was fine. Was worried at the beginning as the sugar and butter wasn't creamy at all but all worked out in the end! Served it with cream. Gave it 4 stars because it was a tad too tangy for my liking despite the horrendous amount of sugar in it! I doubled up the recipe to serve 8 and it was fine.
Loved this pudding!!
Perfect balance of cake-ness on top and gooey-ness on the bottom!
I was craving for some pudding/cake but didn't want to leave the house to especially buy ingredients for it. And then I found this recipe, everything I already have! And it turned out amazingly well, considering I forgot to add the milk, only mixed it in after I folded the egg whites in ...
