JD - The only change I made was how the egg whites were beaten as we now know a bit of heat is the secret to fluffy egg whites. Beat the 4 egg whites, butterfly in for 4 mins/50o/speed 3. I have 2 bowls so could use a clean bowl for the meringue part of it but if you don't have 2 bowls, I would do what Thermomixer suggested and that is to do the beating of the egg whites first. This is simply delicious. I have to say this cake (pudding I would call it) is just as nice served cold so would be a nice do-ahead dessert for visitors.

I made this again and took it to DD's for Mothers' Day tea - it reheats really well and it went down a treat with oohs & ahs coming from around the table. They seemed surprised that something that looked so plain tasted so nice so the name suits this dish right down to the ground

CP - this recipe is one of my favourites. Confession: Step 4, the handmixer is brought out to stiffen the egg whites in a separate bowl.

JulieO - Yes it is lovely and I thought I may make in individual bowls the next time I make it.

dede - We loved it. nice and light with a delicious lemony sauce. I followed the recipe exactly and it worked perfectly. Yummo.

Tasty - It was delicious!!!!!!! So lemony and light!! I made the egg whites first before cleaning and making the rest of the recipe. Easy to follow. It doesn't rise so choose an appropriate tray. I also made a little individual pot which is cooked in around 20 minutes and I had to brown it with grill for colour. I also wanted to add that this taste better cold as the lemon flavour comes out stronger. It does not look good once cut up as it is messy but that's fine as so delicious!!

DJ - Half quantity made 6 ramekins, when cooked, full to almost overflowing. Perfect and yummy. I did 20 mins in baking oven Aga so about 180oC. In roasting tin with boiling water, they rose up like souffles. I also beat the egg whites with hand beater!

cargersmum -  Absolutely delicious - the whole thing disappeared! Thank you Judy for the tip about beating the egg whites  - something I could never get quite right before. Will definitely be using this recipe again -5/5 for us.

INAID - It was delicious, just like my My Great Aunty's which originates from the nursing mothers cook book.

troupie -- We love this recipe off the UK site. After using the same recipe for the past 46 years I tried this one for our anniversary dinner this week and have now found a new favourite recipe. It was so lemony, light and fluffy and I served it with ice cream (of course). That is definitely a keeper for my top ten file.

This sounds like our Lemon Delicious Pudding.  We'll give it a go.

If you did the egg whites first, then you may not have to be a diligent with the cleaning between mixes?? ???

Not sure if that would work?

Will let you know if it is successful in reverse order.

Cheers

I believe this is the recipe  (Chelsea - sorry) Creampuff has made many times!?
The only thing I would do different isuse my handwhisker for the egg whites and not bother with the jug cleaning.
Must make this soon!

I think this may be a better recipe than the one I reviewed as Lemon Delicious from Budget Busters.  There is less butter.

However like Gralke I will use my beaters for egg whites.  In the other recipe the egg whites are cooked as well and I don't believe they were as fluffy as they could be.  There is also more milk in this recipe.

Thanks for bumping this one.  When it was referred to I couldn't find it as I looked in desserts and didn't think to look in cakes. The search box didn't bring it up either.  I don't seem to have much luck with that search box, anyone else find that? Maybe I don't put in enough info - I think I typed in lemon surprise. This is a real surprise as it is a pudding AND a cake ;) ;) so maybe it should be in desserts too.

An interesting recipe. I would be inclined to use my trusty hand beater for the egg whites too.

I made this tonight without realising it was already posted on here so this becomes more of a review & photo opportunity.

This is simply delicious (I had 2 servings :-))).

I made this again on Saturday and took it to DD's for Mothers' Day tea last night - it reheats really well and it went down a treat with oohs & ahs coming from around the table. They seemed surprised that something that looked so plain tasted so nice so the name suits this dish right down to the ground.  SIL went back for seconds, grand-children gobbled it up and Mum loves anything with lemons in it so I knew she would enjoy it.  For something so easy to make and with ingredients we all have on hand,  this is a real winner. Have to do a copy of the recipe for DD.

Great idea Julie, how long would you bake them?

I will start checking them after 20 mins.  I hope to do them in the next few days so will be able to report back then.  ;D

I had to go and look at the recipe in my files as I can't remember.  :-))  

Yes I have an old photo of one in a cup so I obviously did make it again as individual serves.   I didn't make any remarks in the recipe though.  :P

I made this yesterday and we ate it with friends today. It was delicious!!!!!!! So lemony and light!!

I made the egg whites first before cleaning and making the rest of the recipe. Easy to follow. It doesn't rise so choose an appropriate tray. I also made a little individual pot which is cooked in around 20 minutes and I had to brown it with grill for colour.

I also wanted to add that this taste better cold as the lemon flavour comes out stronger.

It does not look good once cut up as it is messy but that's fine as so delcious!!

Thought I'd been clever making in ramekins tonight then on preparing to write this seen JulieO had same idea. Great minds think alike.

Half quantity made 6 ramekins, when cooked, full to almost overflowing. Perfect and yummy.

I did 20 mins in baking oven Aga so about 180'C. In roasting tin with boiling water, they rose up like souffles.

I also beat the egg whites with hand beater!

It is a good one cargersmum.  I have put a copy of this recipe into desserts so there is no chance of anyone not being able to find it in future.

Thanks for your good wishes Judy; I love going back and making recipes of long ago (converted to the thermomix of course). I cant imagine cooking without it these days. Chocolate self saucing pudding was one my mum used to make and as there were 7 children it was only a small helping but oh so delicious and we all wanted to clean our the bowl after it was all dished up.

I made this last night but changed it into passionfruit and lemon. I replaced one lemon with the pulp of 3 passion fruit, used the electric beaters for the egg whites. It was delicious.
