Lemon Sponge

[heathercobbett]

Has anyone got the recipe for the lemon sponge pud that you mix as one and then miraculously turns into sponge at the top and sauce underneath when baked.

I have lost my copy and I have friends coming who love it

Thanks

Not got a recipe Heather but couldn't you make this in the same way as pineapple upside down cake and put the lemon sauce in the tin first and cover with sponge mix.

LEMON SPONGE CAKE

170g (6oz) Self Raising Flour
170g (6oz) Margarine
225g (8oz) Caster or soft brown Sugar
2 Large Eggs, beaten
1 Lemon

Pre-heat oven to 190°C; 375°F: Gas 5
Grease an 8 inch by 10 inch baking tin.
Cream the margarine and 170g (6oz) of sugar in a bowl until soft and fluffy.
Gradually add the beaten eggs into the creamed mixture.
Fold in the flour and the grated lemon rind.
Spread the mixture evenly in the tin.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until springy when touched.
While the cake is cooking place the lemon juice and remaining caster sugar into a small saucepan and heat until warm but not boiling.
When the cake has cooked prick the top with a fork and spoon the syrup over the cake.
Allow the cake to cool in the tin.

Here's another one!!

Mrs. Beeton’s Lemon Delicious Pudding

This pudding has a light spongy top with lemon sauce underneath

butter for greasing
3 eggs, separated
75g/3oz caster sugar
200ml/7fl oz milk
15ml/1tbsp self-raising flour, sifted
grated rind and juice of 2 large lemons
pinch of salt
15ml/1 tbsp icing sugar

Grease a deep 1-pint ovenproof dish. Set the oven at 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.

In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks together with the caster sugar until light, pale and creamy. Whisk the milk, flour, rind and lemon juice into the egg yolks. In a clean, grease-free bowl, whisk the egg whites with the salt, adding the icing sugar gradually. Continue to whisk until stiff but not dry. Fold into the lemon mixture.

Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and stand the dish in a roasting tin. Add hot water to come halfway up the sides of the dish.
Bake for 1 hour.
