Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 1.5-quart (1.4-liter) baking dish or six individual ramekins.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and beat until well incorporated.
Zest and juice the lemons. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, flour, and milk to the mixing bowl. Mix until smooth. The batter will be thin.
In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the lemon batter in three additions, taking care not to deflate the mixture.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or ramekins. Set the dish(es) in a larger roasting pan, then add hot water to the pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish or ramekins to create a water bath.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden and the cake has set. The pudding layer will be at the bottom, and the cake layer will form on top.
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency with a few drops of water if needed. Set aside.
Wash and prepare the mixed berries. If using strawberries, hull and slice them.
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature topped with the mixed berries and a drizzle of powdered sugar glaze.
