Oh dear friends, this lemon cake I’m sharing today is unbelievable! Lemon Pudding Cake is a light and delicious cake filled full of lemon flavor! A yellow fluffy cake bakes over the top of creamy lemon pudding creating a moist, light and incredible cake. If you are a true fan of lemon then this cake is for you. 🙂
I love a good savory lemon recipe. Lemon Garlic Steak Bites, Crispy Lemon Garlic Chicken & Veggies and Crock Pot Creamy Lemon Chicken are all big favorites of mine. But when it comes to lemon desserts- they are my ultimate weakness!

This cake is not rich or heavy at all. It is light as a feather and the lemon pudding makes it so creamy. It almost melts in your mouth. I can see this cake being served at many summer time parties and get togethers. I can almost guarantee you will be asked for the recipe.
When I made it I couldn’t decide to serve it with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. I chose the easy route and went with whipped cream. Every bite was magical! Next time, and there will definitely be a next time, I am going to serve it while it’s still warm with big scoops of vanilla ice cream. Yum.
I hope you all put this on your must try list. You will not regret it!
