Nigella little lemon puddings, baked as one 5 inch pudding rather than individual ones, with a layer of lemon curd underneath that turns into sauce when you tip it out. Serves four and takes under an hour.

I used a 5 inch square tin and scaled this recipe for 4 servings. The bottom and the sides of the tin was lined. I made one 5inch cake instead of individual puddings perfect for a quick pudding.

Scaled down ingredients

(1) 3 TBSP Lemon curd

(2) 65g Butter

(2) 65g Sugar

(2) 65g Self Raising Flour

(2) 1 medium egg

(2) 2 TBSP lemon juice (I used bottle lemon juice)

(2) I added 1 tsp of lemon essence to the sponge mixture.

The original recipe and method from Nigella:

Little Lemon Puddings | Nigella’s Recipes | Nigella Lawson

Method

Loosen (1) and spread into the bottom of the tin.

Add all (2) ingredients into a bowl and whisk until combined. Pour the batter over the lemon curd into the tin and bake. I used the Ninja 15 in 1, Bake function, 155, 25mins.

When the cake was done, I placed a plate over the tin and tipped it upside down. The sponge came out nicely. I served with a drop of cream but a scoop of vanilla ice cream would have been nice too.
