Lemony Custard Cake
It's not quite a cake, it's not quite a pudding, it's not quite custard but it is very lemony and refreshing. Great with vanilla ice cream.

I have made this three times and each time it gets better & better. - 16 Dec 2014
This was really yummy! - 13 Aug 2014
A quick and easy and delicious cake for those of us who are crazy about lemon. This was a little sweet for our taste, so on our second attempt we cut the total sugar by half a cup, which gave us more of the tart, lemony tang we were looking for. Delicious! - 28 May 2006 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
