A quick and citrusy one-bowl lemon dessert with a soft cake top and creamy pudding base — light, zesty, and low on cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 large eggs

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

  • Zest of 1 lemon

  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ tsp baking powder

  • Pinch of salt

  • ¾ cup whole milk

  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish.

  • In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, and lemon zest until pale and frothy.

  • Stir in lemon juice and melted butter.

  • Add flour, baking powder, and salt; mix until smooth.

  • Gradually whisk in milk. Batter will be thin.

  • Pour into the baking dish and bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden and slightly wobbly in the center.

  • Cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.

Notes

For individual portions, use ramekins and reduce bake time. Try Meyer lemons for a sweeter twist. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
