"This is a dessert that has been in the family for years ... my grand mother use to make this all the time. It is very simple to prepare; and, I especially love it because it ISN'T too sweet. The lemon gives it a nice tartness, but the eggs give it a rich flavor."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Batter ... Beat the egg yolks until lightly a fluffy, and a light lemony color; then slowly add in the lemon juice, zest and milk. Mix well, then add the sugar, flour and salt. Make sure the batter is well mixed.

Step 2

Egg Whites ... Beat the egg whites until stiff, then gently fold into the batter.

Step 3

Bake ... Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter or grease (don't use oil) a 1 quart casserole dish. Add the batter to the casserole dish, then add the casserole dish to a larger pan and fill with approximately 1/2" of water. The water bath will help to steam and help to add moisture as the cake cooks. Cook 30-35 minutes on the middle shelf.

Step 4

Serve the cake warm and top with fresh whipped cream and a sprig of mint. ENJOY!

There is something about the grandma recipes - they never fail to please! Amazing how these simple ingredients come together for a great tasting dessert. Suspecting the water bath adds to the sucess of this lovely pudding cake. Love how the lemon flavour comes through.Great topped with whipped cream and drizzled with raspberry preserves. As soon as my Brandyberry raspberries ripen plans are for another making and seving it topped with my homemade raspberry sauce. Thank you for sharing your grandma's recipe in our summer recipes thread over in the the Potluck forum. It's a keeper!
