This is the ultimate pud for citrus fans: sponge fingers soaked in lemon syrup and Limoncello, layered up with creamy mascarpone and finished with an indulgent layer of lemon curd. Zesty heaven

All the squidge of a brownie but bursting with lemony freshness instead, these make a great elevenses treat on a bright spring morning. Use a good-quality lemon curd with plenty of tang and don’t overmix it through the batter – the little pools of lemon curd taste heavenly when you bite into them.
