Lemon Dessert with Thermomix Sponge Cake and Blueberries

Serves 6-8 Prep Time 2 hours   Cook Time 40 minutes   Rated:

My sister in law (the famed Aunty Debbie from everyone's fave Aunty Debbie's Banana Bread) also used to make an iteration of this dessert when we would have the family over on a Sunday. Kids everywhere, hungry adults eyeing off potential desserts, and if this was happening we knew it because there was an enormous packet sponge or two (depending on event numbers) sitting on the table waiting for it's moment in the limelight.

This is my version, I added the berries and they do make an impact. You will need all the sponge, don't think otherwise, even it seems like you have leftovers after you have made it look all pretty. Keep them aside for a late addition to the dessert. This is so simple for a crowd and can be adjusted down or up in quantity to feed the number you have around your table, though dessert leftovers are never a problem really are they? (Call them breakfast!)
