I absolutely love lemon desserts. There’s just something about that combination of tart and sweet that creates a perfect balance. Chances are if there is something lemony on the dessert menu I am going to be ordering it. I love how delightfully refreshing lemon can be after a good dinner—sometimes I think chocolate can be a bit too heavy.
This pudding cake actually reminds me of a lemon souffle, but it’s ridiculously easy to make. It requires no special ingredients and takes hardly any time to throw together. I love to serve it when the pudding is still warm, but it’s also delicious chilled, with a big dollop of whipped cream on top.
