Ingredients

Serves: 5
Prep time: 30/40 mins

Pudding:

  • 175g soft butter plus extra for greasing
  • 50g full fat natural yoghurt
  • 155g caster sugar
  • 100g plain flour, sifted
  • 75g ground hazelnuts
  • 1 tsp baking powder, sifted
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 lemon zested (save the juice of half for the soak)
  • 3.5 tsp elderflower cordial

For the soak:

  • Juice of half lemon, from above
  • 110ml elderflower cordial

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180oC.
  2. Prepare the soak by mixing the cordial and juice in a jug.
  3. Grease an ovenproof dish with the extra butter for the recipe. You need a dish that will hold about 1.5 litres at least.
  4. In a mixer, cream the butter, sugar and lemon zest together until light and fluffy. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a container. Beat 1 egg into the butter mix and then beat in 1/3 of the dry ingredients. Continue to do this until you have added and mixed all the eggs and the dry ingredients.
  5. Lastly, beat in the elderflower cordial and yoghurt.
  6. Pour the batter into your greased dish and place in the oven into the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 20 -25 mins or until a clean skewer is entered and comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let set for a couple of minutes.
  7. As the pudding is cooling prick with a skewer or a fork and pour over the soak.
  8. Serve warm with some whipped cream.
