Lemon Cake with Creamy Lemon Pudding

How to Make It

1. Make the Cake Batter

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.

  2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and sugar until pale and fluffy.

  3. Add the softened butter and mix until smooth.

  4. Sift in the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Fold gently until combined.

  5. Stir in the lemon juice.

  6. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top.

2. Bake the Cake

  1. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

  2. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully.

3. Prepare the Lemon Pudding

  1. In a saucepan, whisk the egg, sugar, vanilla, and cornstarch until smooth.

  2. Add the lemon zest and milk.

  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble.

  4. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and lemon juice until fully incorporated.

4. Assemble

  1. Once the cake is completely cool, slice it horizontally into two layers.

  2. Place the bottom layer on a serving plate.

  3. Spread a generous amount of lemon pudding over it.

  4. Add the top layer and spoon more pudding over the cake, letting it drip down the sides.

5. Serve

Let the cake set for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy the contrast of fluffy cake and rich, vibrant pudding in every bite.
