Gluten free lemon delicious “cup” cake puddings
Servings: 2
Not only are these puddings gluten-free, but they’re also made with minimal ingredients, which means that if you’ve a hankering, you’ve probably already got everything you need! Just grab your favourite vanilla ice cream, and turn it into both the base for the cake batter, AND the topping once they’re zapped! You’ll need a microwave for this one, so if you don’t have one at home, maybe it’s a recipe to try on your lunch-break at the office? A note on microwave mug cakes - these puddings are always going to be a little damp on top, as they won’t have the cooked in the oven dry top. Don’t go overcooking them in the microwave expecting to get caramelisation. You will end up with lemony stones.
