Lemon Pudding Cake

I saw this recipe on Pinterest, I think. Wherever I saw it, I copied it, got the ingredients and have had them sitting on the counter for about a week. Seems like every noght we had something planned so it got put on the , literal, back burner.

I know it is a keeper . . the husband had TWO helpings. SHoot, normally I  have to twist his arm to g et h im to eat one helping of any deserts I make . . makes me cry . . NOT! More for me, BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA

1st step, mix ingredients for a yellow cake and pour into 9 x 13 greased dish . . . check.

Next, whip up the pudding . . . check.



Pour budding over cake . . DO NOT SPREAD . . . check.

Notice the ribbons of cake batter that came to the top? And I left them alone.
The recipe says if you  "mess with the pudding" the recipe will fail.

Step 4, bake then remove from oven . . . check.

This was taken before our Abby (15 year old cat) decided she wanted
to niible on the top.

Isn't that the "purdiest" top you have ever seen on a cake? Look at the pudding coming up around the edges . . . looks like it is going to be a keeper recipe.

Last step . . .EAT . . check.

If you've followed this far, here is your reward . . the recipe.
