Ingredients

3 tbsp Lemon and Lime Marmalade
75 g caster sugar
75 g butter or butter alternative (I use Flora plant butter)
1 egg or flaxseed egg [ see notes]
150 g gluten free self raising flour
1 lemon juice and zest

Instructions

Before you begin, oil a 1ltr pudding basin (you can use a small mixing bowl). Then spoon the Lemon and Lime marmalade into the bottom.
In the large mixing bowl, add the 'butter' and sugar and whisk together until light a creamy.
Next add the egg and beat.
Then add the lemon juice and lemon zest and give it one last whisk, the mixture will thicken a little after adding the lemon juice.
Finally, add the gluten free self raising flour and gently fold in with the whisk. Pour the pudding batter into the prepared pudding basin and pop into the Microwave.
Heat in the microwave for 3 minutes (900W) or if using a less powerful microwave heat initially for 3 minutes then 30 seconds, keep doing this until you are happy the sponge it fully cooked.
Carefully remove the pudding basin from the microwave and use a knife to score around the edges to loosen the sponge pudding.
Turn out onto a serving plate and enjoy as soon a its cool enough to eat with custard or cream.

Notes

How to make a flax egg

to make 1 flax egg you need the following ingredients:
- 1tbsp ground flax seed
- 3tbsp water
- 1tsp psyllium husk (optional but does add elasticity to baking)

Simply add all ingredients to a glass and stir before measuring out the other recipe ingredients, by the time you come to use your 'egg' mixture it will have thickened to a frog-spawn consistency (thicker if you added psyllium husk)
