Warm Winter Lemon Cake

photo by:kraft

Gently falling snow, good. Unrelenting icy rain, not so much. Tame winter with a forkful of lemony sunshine in a warm, moist pudding cake with a citrus tang.

Made this for friends and we all loved it! I did add the extra lemon juice- good flavor. I didn't have any spill over, but my suggestion is to CAREFULLY and SLOWLY pour the pudding into the batter so that is is evenly distributed.

This was a disaster! A big pile of undercooked mess in the center. I put it back in the oven twice! Cooked for 90 minutes. What did I do wrong?

1st made this in chocolate using reduced sugar cake & pudding. Just made it with lemon cake & cheesecake pudding adding 4 oz of cream cheese to the pudding and when serving I topped with cherry pie filling. Um,Um Good!!!

This was delicious and very easy to make. I used lemon cake mix, along with lemon pudding. As one reviewer said - it didn't look that great -- but who cares! It surely was good!

Next time I would try a lemon cake mix the yellow one doesn't add anything to the final product.

I won't make this again. The only part of this cake that we loved was the whipped cream I served it with. It just tasted like a yellow cake from a mix...not what I expected with the add-ons. If you make it, be sure to put it on a cookie sheet with sides as it suggests or you will have a HUGE mess to clean up in your oven. Most of the pudding actually ended up on my cookie sheet.

This is over the top GOOD. Made this the first time in 2006 when it appeared in food and family magazine.This is a sweet comfort treat you want to savor. Curl up in a big easy chair, in a fuzzy robe near a the fireplace, and enjoy. Sweet dreams.
