Preheat the oven to 160°C

Grease a baking dish with butter.

Cream together the butter and sugar, then add the lemon zest and optional marmalade and mix until combined.

Slowly add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well between each addition.

Slowly add the flour and milk and when combined, slowly add the lemon juice to complete the batter.

In a very clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites until peaks form.

Add one-third of the whites to the lemon mixture and gently fold in. Then gently fold in the remaining egg whites.

Pour the mixture into the prepared dish/es and place in a deep-sided water bath.

Cook for 40 minutes, or until risen and golden on top

Remove from the oven and dust with a flourish of icing sugar

Serve warm with cream.  Alternately, cool and put into the fridge to serve chilled.
