This lemon pudding cake has bright and zesty flavors of Spring. This cake is very indulging. Just a couple of bites, you’ll surely be hooked! I love the little versions of this cake, but this full cake version is as great, especially when serving a crowd. You’ll be surprised how the batter magically separates into a fluffy cake on top of a delightful lemon pudding. Before serving, dust the cake with the Confectioners’ sugar if desired and top with berries.
Moist cake on a delicate custard filling. This lemon pudding cake is one of my ultimate favorite desserts! I love to serve this warm, just out of the oven. But this cake is also excellent chilled. This cake is no doubt the perfect treat for all lemon lovers!
This cake is a refreshing cake with bold lemon flavors! It’s a no-fuss to make, incredibly delightful with soft sponge cake on top and lemon pudding beneath. This is a keeper recipe and a must-try.
