This lemon pudding cake recipe has been passed down in my family and is always served at gatherings. The super moist lemon cake sits on top of creamy lemon custard and is incredible served warm with fresh whipped cream or a scoop of gelato. You will love serving this to friends and family (if you don’t eat it all yourself first)! Serves 8-10.
