Lemon drizzle sponge pudding
We’ve turned the classic lemon drizzle cake into a self-saucing pudding for a money-saving retro dessert that’s comfort food at its very best. Sweetened lemon juice is poured over just before baking and thickens and puddles in the bottom of the dish to create the delicious sauce.
