This slow cooker lemon and berry self-saucing pudding is a simple dessert with a layer of sponge cake with a lemon berry sauce which forms beneath the sponge.
Which Berries to Use?
I love a fruit pudding and decided to use a mix of blueberries, raspberries and blackberries in my self-saucing pudding. It’s also great with strawberries in it. You make the cake mixture up and then pour on a mixture of lemon infused boiling water and sugar which makes the sauce that forms underneath the pudding.

Below is the finished product after serving. The sauce was purple from the fruit and the sponge was lovely and soft.
