Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a medium-sized baking dish (approximately 1.5 to 2-quart capacity) with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and dried coconut meat.
- Stir in half of the sugar (1/2 cup or 100g) and the lemon zest.
- In another bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
- Stir gently until just combined. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup (100g) of sugar with the corn flour.
- Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
- Combine the lemon juice and water, then gently pour this liquid over the entire surface of the batter.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Allow the pudding to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. During this time, the sauce will thicken slightly.
- Serve the pudding warm, scooping into bowls so that each serving includes some of the sauce from the bottom.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is melted and slightly cooled before mixing it with the other wet ingredients to avoid cooking the egg prematurely.
- When zesting the lemon, avoid the white pith as it can add a bitter taste to the pudding.
- Mix the batter gently to maintain a light and airy texture in the sponge cake layer.
- Pour the hot water carefully over the batter to avoid creating holes in the sponge layer.
- Serve the pudding warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an added touch of indulgence.
