Lemon Delicious is a scrumptious, tangy dessert that's perfect for any occasion. It's a self-saucing pudding that creates a zesty lemon sauce at the bottom while baking, leaving a delicate sponge cake at the top. If you love citrus flavors, this dessert is sure to become one of your favorites.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and lemon juice to the bowl, and mix until well combined.
- Separate the eggs, placing the whites in a clean, dry bowl and the yolks directly into the butter mixture. Beat the yolks into the mixture until fully incorporated.
- Sift the self-raising flour over the butter and egg mixture. Gently fold the flour in until no dry streaks remain.
- Gradually add the milk to the mixture, stirring continuously until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Using a clean mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter. This will help to create a light and fluffy texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or ramekins. The mixture will be quite liquid, but don’t worry, it will set up beautifully while baking.
- Place the baking dish or ramekins in a larger pan. Fill the larger pan with hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish or ramekins.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set but still slightly wobbly.
- Remove from the oven and carefully take the baking dish or ramekins out of the water bath. Allow the dessert to cool slightly.
- Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar if desired.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Separate the eggs while they are cold, then allow them to come to room temperature before using them. This will help achieve a better meringue texture.
- Use fresh lemon juice for a more vibrant and authentic citrus flavor.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the mixture to retain as much air as possible, giving the dessert a light and airy texture.
- Bake in a bain-marie (water bath) to ensure even cooking and to prevent the dessert from drying out.
With these tips in hand, you'll be able to create a Lemon Delicious dessert that is light, fluffy, and bursting with citrus flavor. Enjoy this delightful treat as a perfect finish to any meal, and impress your friends and family with your baking skills!
