Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup fresh mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
• Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

How to Make Lemon Pudding Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. It will be quite thin, but this is normal.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes, then top with fresh mixed berries and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
8. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
• Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving to enhance its texture.
• For a richer flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.

Easy Variations

• Substitute lime juice and zest for a lime pudding cake.
• Add a layer of whipped cream between the cake and berries for extra creaminess.
• Incorporate other fruits like peaches or blackberries depending on the season.

What to Serve With It

• A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• A refreshing herbal tea or lemonade to complement the citrus flavor.
• A light salad for a balanced meal when serving at a gathering.
