Lemon Pudding Cake a soft cake full of lemon flavor that forms a light lemon pudding under the cake, it can be served warm or chilled.

Lemon Pudding Cake

This lemon pudding cake is a simple cake that my family enjoys.

This recipe comes from a cookbook that I received for a wedding gift many years ago.  The Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book is worn and some of the pages are missing. I made so many of the recipes from this book over the years it is no wonder the book is so worn.

Lemon Pudding Cake

We have eaten this cake both warm and chilled. I believe that the chilled form of this cake is my favorite way to eat this cake. One thing to know when chilling the cake the pudding is absorbed into the cake leaving a super moist cake.

What is a pudding cake?

Basically, a pudding cake is a souffle that has too much liquid. The additional liquid permits the air bubbles for the whipped egg whites to form a thin batter during baking.

    That sounds like one excellent cookbook! Any cookbook with dog-eared pages (or pages missing) means it’s been well-loved. 🙂 This lemon pudding cake sounds delicious, and I like your note of serving this one chilled. I love lemon desserts!

    I dearly love this Lemon pudding cake. Our family was camping in our camp trailer and happened to find the cake and cooked in the trailer’s small little oven. Wow it was excellent. Tip: Another camping trip and didn’t have lemon juice so I used a package of lemon Aid with just enough water to the measuring cup.
    ~Enjoy!

    Hi! I have this cake baking right now. I actually used the recipe in my old Better Homes & Gardens cookbook given to me before my wedding in 1972! I looked on the web because I couldn’t believe that I didn’t have to grease the pan and found your recipe. My book says 1 teaspoon of lemon and yours says 1 tablespoon! Is that a typo or do our books differ? Thanks! Marilyn

      Hi Marilyn, I got this recipe from my mom years ago. Her recipe called for a tablespoon. It doesn’t matter if there is a little more or less lemon zest. The flavor may vary a bit, but I am sure either way it is delicious. I hope you cake turned out well.
