    Method

    1. Put the butter, sugar, flour, eggs, milk and lemon zest in a mixing bowl with a pinch of salt and beat with an electric whisk until completely smooth.
    2. Butter a 1 litre ovenproof bowl or dish and transfer the cake mix to it, dotting the lemon curd through as you go. Microwave on full power for 4 mins at 1000w or 5 minutes at 800w, then remove and leave to stand for 10 mins.
    3. Divide between bowls and serve with an extra dollop of lemon curd and a spoonful of Greek yogurt, if you like.
