Delicious Lemon Cake Pudding!

A pudding that is sort of a cake, but really it is sort of a pudding…so good that you might want to make it for Valentine’s Day! Decorate the top with whipped cream and “the amount that you like!” sliced strawberries. You can use red raspberries instead of strawberries.

Delicious!!!

My mother and her friends made this recipe for parties and casual neighborhood get-togethers. I thought that I did not have the recipe, but found it in one of my mother’s many cookbooks. I have since found similar recipes on the internet, but I have only tried this particular recipe! I know that it works!!

The recipe for Lemon Cake Pudding came from the very popular “back in the day” Charity League Cookery…a cookbook published in 1953 by a women’s club in Longview, Texas. There are scores of wonderful “vintage” recipes to try. All of the recipes are written by hand…by several people who had amazing handwriting skills! Hope that you enjoy this recipe!!
