Ingredients:
- 100g self-raising flour
- 100g caster sugar
- 100g soft butter
- 2 eggs
- Peel of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 4 tbsp lemon curd
Method:
- In a mixing bowl, mix the flour, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla essence, and lemon zest together until you get a smooth batter.
- Transfer the mixture to a well-greased, medium-sized microwave-resistant dish (we used a 0.8-litre dish).
- Microwave the mixture for 3-4 minutes (we made this sponge in an 800W microwave in 3 minutes) until the sponge has risen and is fully cooked. You can check by inserting a skewer in the middle of the sponge – it should come out clean.
- Leave the sponge to rest while you place the lemon curd in a microwave-safe dish and heat it for 30 seconds. Stir it until it’s glossy and soft, then generously spread it on top of your sponge before serving.
