How To Make Lemon Pudding Cake

1. Separate egg whites and yolks

2. The egg yolks will be mixed with milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

3. Combine the dry ingredients; flour, sugar, and salt. Add the egg yolk & milk mixture and mix together.

4. You will need to make meringue with egg whites and fold it into the batter. The meringue will help the cake to rise and keep it very light.

Water bath

Although making the cake batter is very simple, you will want to water bath the cake when you put it in the oven. The steam from the water will help cake very soft and moist preventing from becoming too dry.

Basically, pour the batter in a 1 qt size baking pan, then put the pan in a larger pan. Pour the hot water in the large pan to come up to half the height of the pan. That will help the cake batter to stay moist while baking.
