Ingredients

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 170C fan-forced (190C conventional). Put yolks, vanilla, zest and icing sugar in a bowl and whisk for 5 minutes, until very light. Sift flour and bicarb together and fold in, alternating with butter, lemon juice and milk.

2.

Whisk egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy, then add 2 teaspoons caster sugar and continue whisking, adding sugar a little at a time, until soft peaks form. Fold gently into lemon mix. 

3.

Spoon into a well-buttered 2L baking dish. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until just firm to touch and top has darkened slightly. Serve hot with berries, cream and a dusting of icing sugar.
