A lovely little dessert this easy lemon pudding cake recipe turns out to be!
I must say that when I started making the batter I didn’t quite know what it would be like or what to expect in the end.
So I just started preparing it without expecting much from it. However once I took the golden cakes out of the oven and then opened up the top crust it looked surprisingly creamy and delicious!
Experiment
Oh and that little gooey pool of lemon custard on the bottom is quite a surprise too when you start digging in!
Do you often make desserts with lemon?
I’m not a good dessert chef in general. So that the reason why I’m always on the lookout for new and simple desserts that I surely can pull off in my kitchen.
Easy Lemon Pudding Cake Recipe
Well making this easy lemon pudding cake recipe was great fun!
Also because the end result was so delicious. And an eye catcher on my dinner table! I’m always happy when desserts don’t let me down. Something that has happened a lot in the past.
No need to panic if the lemon cakes puff up like a soufflé while they are baking in the oven. As soon as you pull them out of the oven in the end, then they will collapse slowly while cooling down.
Lukewarm
I love to serve them when they are still a wee bit lukewarm.
Also sprinkle them with a little icing sugar right before you serve them. That makes them look so posh as well!
