Preparation

Chef’s notes

This recipe was first shared in 2008 and remains popular for its moist, pudding-like texture.
In 2023, the recipe was updated to address common questions and concerns, making it a one-bowl cake.
The lemon zest is no longer measured; use whatever your lemons provide.
Berries are optional as they may sink; frozen wild blueberries are recommended.
For a berry-free version, skip the last tablespoon of flour and adjust the baking time to 50 minutes.
The cake keeps for 3 days at room temperature or 1 week in the fridge. It freezes and defrosts nicely.
