Lemon Pudding Cake

As this dessert bakes it forms a delicate cake on top of a tart lemon curd. A perfect dessert for lemon lovers.
  • 3 eggs, yolks separated from whites
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons zest of a lemon
  • Juice from 2 large lemons
  1. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form and set aside.
  2. In large bowl whisk egg yolks with sugar until pale in color, beat in flour and salt.
  3. Whisk in buttermilk, melted butter, lemon zest and juice.
  4. Fold half of beaten egg whites into milk mixture, then fold in remaining whites.
  5. Pour into a greased 8 inch glass baking dish. Place dish in a large roasting pan, add enough hot water to the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
  6. Bake in a 350ยบ oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until top is golden. Carefully remove dish from water and allow to cool on rack for 30 minutes before serving.

  10. This looks FANTASTIC. My dad has a year-round abundance of Meyer lemons (which have a lovely flavor slightly different from traditional lemon-- they are a hybrid and have tangerine DNA) and this would be a WONDERFUL recipe to try with them! YUM, now I'm drooling!

    I love this blog--brings back soooo many memories of the food my Mom used to cook--even some of the words that I had forgotten. I just took the Lemon Pudding Cake out of the oven and it is wonderful. I have spent two days exploring and will return to this site many times.
