A simple, bright, and moist one-bowl lemon dessert recipe from Paul Hollywood. This recipe features a tender cake with a pudding-like layer and a refreshing lemon flavor, perfect for minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 23 lemons)
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish or individual ramekins.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
  5. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt over the mixture and stir until just combined.
  6. Slowly whisk in the milk until smooth. The batter will be thin.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared dish or ramekins.
  8. Place the baking dish or ramekins in a larger pan and add hot water to the outer pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish (creating a water bath).
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is just set. It will have a cake-like top with a pudding-like layer underneath.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  11. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
