- Pudding: The lemon pudding that is baked in the cake is made from instant lemon pudding plus sugar, milk and water.
- Coverage: The cake can be topped with powdered sugar, whipped cream, fresh mint, or lemon wedges. You can also serve the cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
How to make lemon pudding cake recipe
- Prepare the cake batter: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, mix the lemon cake with your ingredients. Pour it into the prepared cake pan.
- Make the pudding: Combine the pudding in a bowl. Beat for 2 minutes until thick. Drop spoonfuls of the pudding over the pie crust. Bake the cake for 60 minutes until done.
Tips, Tricks and Variations
- citrus zest: Enhance the lemon flavor by adding a hint of lemon zest from other citrus fruits like oranges or limes. This will add a delicious touch to your pudding cake. Lemon juice can also be added.
- add berries: For an extra touch of freshness, garnish your lemon pudding cake with a handful of fresh berries like raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries. The combination of berry tart and citrus cake creates a delicious mix of flavors.
- Experiment with spices: Consider adding a pinch of spice, such as a hint of ginger or a pinch of cinnamon, to your pudding cake batter. These warm spices can add depth and complexity to the overall flavor profile.
- Gluten-free option: If you or someone you know is on a gluten-free diet, you can easily adapt the recipe by using gluten-free cake mix and pudding instead of regular. Be sure to check the labels on all ingredients to make sure they are, in fact, gluten-free.
- Serve warm or cold: Lemon Pudding Cakes can be enjoyed hot or cold. If you prefer a warm and gooey dessert, serve the cake fresh out of the oven. Alternatively, refrigerate for a few hours before serving as a cool, refreshing treat on a hot day.
- Customize with garnishes: Get creative with your presentation by adding decorative touches. Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar, sprinkle on crushed pistachios or toasted coconut, or place a lemon wedge on each slice for an elegant touch.
