Packed with the sweet flavor of lemon in every bite this cake is sure to bring a smile to your face!
Recently, my hubby and I went to visit my mother in law in rehab where she was recovering from a stroke. During our visit, we enjoyed lunch together and just as she was about to push away her mostly uneaten lunch she saw a piece of lemon pudding cake sitting on the corner of her tray and her face lit up! “Oh, I’ll eat that”, she said with a smile!
The lemon pudding cake looked moist, sweet, and the perfect refreshing thing to enjoy! It was finished off with a sugary glaze that dripped down over the cake.
A few days later I was thinking about my mother in law and decided to recreate that sweet, just a little beyond golden looking cake! My version of the lemon pudding cake came out exactly as we saw it and how I would imagined it tasted! Next time we see my mother in law I am packing this lemon pudding cake in hopes of seeing her face light up again as see enjoys a slice!
