We just love desserts made using lemons and this Lemon Delicious Pudding is a winner. It is quick to prepare and tastes fabulous eaten hot, or cold.
What we really love about this Lemon Delicious Pudding, is that the sponge remains beautifully soft with that fresh baked mouth feel even after refrigerating. Whipping the egg whites and gently folding through the batter is the key to creating this super light and airy sponge.
Growing up, Mum’s pantry always had packets of lemon delicious, chocolate, or butterscotch self saucing puddings that we as kids would just whip one or the other up for a quick dessert. We remember mixing up the packet mix, then sprinkling the powder over the batter, and then pouring boiling water over the batter then baking till golden. A big scoop of vanilla ice cream was necessary to serve with it, as the hot pudding met the cold ice cream and created a creamy sauce as it melted.
Well, we’ve come a long way since, and discovered this amazing lemon delicious recipe that has the best light and airy sponge and a stunning lemon sauce, that makes the perfect pudding in our opinion.

Cooper now has a new burial ground for his bones. What was once a flourishing garden bed is now completely dead due to the drought here in Australia. What is it with dogs that you give them a nice juicy bone and they go and bury it, only to dig it up at a later date?
