Step-by-step

  • Preheat the oven to 180oC / 160oC Fan / Gas 4 / 350oF.
  • Place the low fat spread, sweetener and the zest of 1 lemon into a bowl and using a hand held mixer, whisk until just combined.
  • Add the lemon juice, vanilla paste, egg yolks, flour and milk one by one, whilst continuing to mix until you have a smooth batter.
  • Clean your whisk attachment and in a separate clean bowl whisk the egg whites until they produce soft peaks - when you remove the whisk the peaks will just hold their shape for a second or so before collapsing.
  • Gently fold the two mixtures together using a metal spoon. Don't over mix, you want the mixture to be light and fluffy.
  • Spoon the mixture into an ovenproof dish (I used one that measured 7 1/2 inches square).
  • Fill a baking tray half full of hot water and place the ovenproof dish in the centre.
  • Place in the middle of the oven and bake for 45 - 50 minutes until the top turns golden brown and has set. There will be a creamy lemony sauce below.
  • Top with a light dusting of icing / powdered sugar.
