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.

I'm actually about to make it again now! This is soooo yummy! I'm going to try it with a lemon cake mix this time. My son LOVES lemon flavored desserts and this one was a hit with not only him but the whole family. Delicious comforting taste! Absolutely perfect served warm on a cold day!!

I made this recipe and took it to a covered dish at church. Had people asking for the recipe.

LOVE THIS RECIPIE!!! Had no problem with bubbling over or runny cake. My family loved it right out of the oven with a nice big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!!!

Great to serve when you have a big crowd. The leftovers only keep well for a couple of days.

VERY YUMMY!! So easy to make and a wonderful dessert!! I did use a lemon cake mix and do agree it makes it much better. Do want to try it as a chocolate dessert--changing the cake mix and pudding mix to my favorite flavor--chocolate.

Almost 1/2 of the lemon filling bubbled over, leaving practically none on the bottom of the cake. Is there a way to avoid this happening in such a great amount?

Loved this cake. Can also use lemon cake mix if you want a strong lemon flavor.

Mine definately wasn't as neat and tidy as the picture of this cake but it tasted good. I troed using a vanilla and a lemon pudding mix which I would do again. It's messy looking but tastes good.

This was one of the easiest, most well-liked desserts I have fixed in a long time.

Not sure why others had problems with this recipe. I made it for guests and everyone loved it. The pudding is indeed a bit more runny when it's right out of the oven, but when it's cool, it's quite solid. Taste was very good as well, both warm and cold.
