How to Make Lemon Sponge Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
  3. Zest and juice 2 large lemons. Add lemon zest, 1/2 cup lemon juice, 4 large egg yolks, and 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk to the dry ingredients. Whisk until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the lemon mixture.
  5. Pour batter into a lightly greased 8-cup baking dish.
  6. Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan. Pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches about 1 inch up the sides of the baking dish (bain-marie).
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving.
  9. **Raspberry Sauce:**
  10. Press 2 cups fresh raspberries through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. You should have about 1 cup of puree.
  11. In a small saucepan, whisk together the raspberry puree and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
  12. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
  13. Serve the warm lemon sponge pudding topped with the warm raspberry sauce.
