Preparation
- Grease a microwavable bowl with a little butter and set aside until required.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and add the softened butter, flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest and juice. Beat until smooth, then pour into the microwavable bowl.
- Cook in the microwave for 3-4 minutes, until the cake has risen and is cooked through. Set aside and leave to stand for 2 minutes.
- Spoon the jam into a small dish and microwave for 30 seconds.
- Loosen the cake around the edges with a knife and turn out onto a serving plate. Pour over the raspberry sauce and sprinkle with the lemon zest.
- Serve warm with fresh raspberries and crème fraîche.
