🍋 Lemon Pudding Cake So Great - You'll eat The Whole Pan! 

Thanks for watching Everyone! Recipe is in the ^^^Description Box^^^. *Yes we are joking about molten cakes... Though they are still ridiculously priced.*

I made with a orange. ( Didn't have a lemon Handy) my wife said it is amazing

Wow, thank you. I made this at school when I was 12 (I am nearly 56 now). My mum was amazed when I brought it home. Long forgotten, but will attempt it soon.

We call it lemon delicious in New Zealand, at work we stew Rhubarb and serve the lemon delicious with the rhubarb and pouring cream... its fantastic.

I'm going to make this for Thanksgiving. My MIL passed away recently, and she loved lemon desserts. This will be an delicious way to remember her.

This is kinda similar to a family cake we have in some old hand written recipe books. Ours is more of a sauce bottomed cake rather than anything else. and the method is slightly different, but the intended more or less outcome is the same. Sauce on the bottom and slightly mixed into the cake above. We make an orange sauce and pour it into the bottom of the dish, then pour the batter over the hot sauce and straight into an oven. As it bakes the sauce stays about maybe 50% at the bottom and the rest bakes into the cake. But the cake itself doesn't become super wet or anything. It is a recipe from my grandmother who adapted it from something similar her mother made (I don't know if I have that recipe but I believe it is an old Afrikaaner or Dutch recipe. ) EDIT: Recipe now included below. Main cake recipe: Ingredients: 3/4 cup self raising flour (250ml cup not packed. Sifted. I will try and convert this to grams the next time I make this) 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup milk (full cream milk is best) 1/4 cup melted butter 1 egg 1/2 teaspoon Bicarbonate of soda 1 Tablespoon Orange zest 1/2 teaspoon salt Batter instructions: Beat eggs and sugar together and add in melted butter. Add the rest of the ingredients except milk and Bicarbonate of soda. Add those last. No need to mix a lot. Mix till it is combined nicely. Sauce recipe: Ingredients: 1 cup water 1/2 cup Orange juice 1/2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon butter pinch or two of salt Final Instructions: Add all sauce ingredients to a small pot. Cook till the sugar is dissolved and then for one more minute on simmer. Remove sauce from heat and pour into an appropriate sized dish. (There is no recommended size but something around 25cm square and 8cm deep is more than enough for this batch size. ) While the sauce is still warm (although it can be cold), pour the batter over the top of the sauce gently. Some sauce will be on-top of the cake batter and that's perfectly fine. Bake in an oven at 175 Celsius (around 345F) for 20-25 minutes. Serve warm or cool. Personal notes. We like to double the sauce amount but only 1.5x the sugar amount in the sauce. For an extra saucy underside that isn't so sweet. But this recipe is very much up to your discretion and you can change oranges out with lemons or something else citrus. This is the re-written version of the recipe from my mother who write it down in 1990. My grandmother wrote her version (updated to make use of temperature controlled ovens funnily enough) in Afrikaans between 1950 and 1960.

After the box from my childhood, I bought a cookbook for my children that was written with a Mary Poppins theme. There was the recipe!

This was in the Soufflé recipe book my father gave me as a 'leaving home' present, 50 years ago. It was called 'Lemon Pudding Souffle' although the book acknowledged that it wasn't a true soufflé.

My mother made this as a treat while I was growing up. By the way, it’s wonderful with fresh blueberries on the side.

over here in australia we call this lemon delicious pudding cheers.

Australian here, delicious recipe thanks. We call them self saucing puddings because they essentially make their own layer of sauce.

I’ve been looking for this recipe for years! My mom used to make the “sauce n cake” from the box when I was a kid. I could never remember what it’s called and no one ever knows what I’m talking about when I try to describe it. Thanks!

Tried this a few weeks ago in a pinch to return a neighbor’s plate non-empty, and I couldn’t be happier to have found out they were on holiday. For the time and effort that goes into making it the end result is unbelievable. It’s certainly one of the best desserts I’ve had. I can’t wait to try out other ingredients like sour cherries and plums!

I would love to see a butterscotch version of this!

Made this exact recipe today. The heading is correct! I almost ate the whole pan. Absolutely delicious 🤤. It my top dessert now! Thank you very much for sharing.

Holy cow this is amazing. I made it twice in two weeks. The second time my lemon was pretty small so I used a lemon and a lime and added a dash of vanilla! Tasted like a lemon-lime creamsicle. This recipe goes on rotation for sure.

A cake with lemon goo under the crumb? Oh, I am so with that idea! 👍

Those boxed pudding cakes were great back in the day .

In UK I’ve always known it as “Canadian Lemon”. I thought a Canadian cook would have called it thus. It’s a fabulous pudding.

We made a double batch and used an orange and a lime. It turned out amazing. We can't wait to eat it all so we can make another!

I love this lemon pudding. My mother discovered it in an American cookbook when she lived in the USA back in the 60s. Thoroughly recommend it. PS I'd use a deeper bowl and put cold water in the Bain Marie. If it cooks too thoroughly you don’t get the sauce at the bottom.

Greens' self-saucing puddings are a staple down under. Probably the first thing most kids learn to bake. And yes, the lemon one is the most popular.

soon as I saw the milk in a bag, I knew this was a Canadian show. Cheers from California!

I can't wait to try this. Never heard of it. You're a keeper. Married 45 yrs and hubby can't find his ass with both hands in the kitchen. Many men cook but few bake. Mine can do neither but I can and that's why we've been married 45 yrs lol :o)

My favorite dessert from my childhood.

Love this. Based on the old fashioned "Half-hour Pudding". Mom made them often as they were quick and easy. I remember 'Sauce 'n Cake'. Great to hear you call the seeds "Pips". Thanks for sharing.

My mother-in-law makes a version of this, I think she calls it lemon delicious. We're in Australia btw 😁

Glen, I remember my Mom making this when I was young. My parents were coming for supper so I made your recipe today... and it was delish !!!

Outstanding and so simple to make. Instead of lemon, used an orange and some rhubarb to give the needed tartness. Used half Stevia, half sugar with good results. Thank you for great recipe and clear instructions.

You are so blessed, Glen's wife, he is cute and can cook/bake. May you both have many happy years together.

In NZ this is often known as Lemon Delicious. In tough times I did occasionally serve it up as the main course with the instruction to the kids 'If you don't eat your pudding (dessert) you can't have any dinner!' It always worked. And now I live alone i sometimes tell myself the same thing, Best served with lashings of cream, the pouring variety. Go easy on buttering the pan, the crusty bits on the edges are the cook's treat, And yes, I can still manage a whole pan, but it is also great for breakfast.

My mum used to cook this and it was one of my favourite puddings growing up. She used to call it a lemon upside down cake. Thank you for taking me back to my childhood!

This looks so delicious! Thank you for sharing the recipe, and for transcribing it out of the metric system for us Americans.

Jules is a trooper, shes always down to try anything in the kitchen.

Glen separates his eggs over the whites bowl like a boss

I am SO glad YT recommended this to me! I've never heard of this, but it looks and sounds wonderful! Subscribed.

Saw this by chance and made it immediately.....delicious and so easy to make. Thanks for the recipe.

This was delicious, quick. Satisfying. Fixed my lemon craving. Thank you.

There was a recipe for this on an egg carton I saved from years ago . It is definitely saucy . I will have to check and see hat is different .

Lemon self saucing pudding is one of my all time faves. The chocolate one is pretty good too. Come to think of it, the butterscotch is pretty darn good as well! I’ve never seen a recipe for it though, what a treat!

How weird am I that watching you lick the spoon or beater and then nod your head at how good it tastes, makes me happy. It could be "A Canadian Heritage Moment" on the CBC.

My sister lived in Longlac for many years, her husband worked at a pulp mill. My Grandmother made us these cakes/puddings she also made a brown sugar version and a chocolate version, brings back memories.

I made this today with brown sugar because it was all I had. It came out great. Thank you.

I saw this recipie on RU-vid here in Australia (A Canadian expat) and remembered those boxed pudding cakes from the 70s and thought we have a lemon tree out back and a friend who needs a pick-me-up. The cake turned out perfectly and we delivered it to our friend's door and the report was it was a success. This will now be a go-to for a simple homey cake. Thanks!

This is the Best Dessert Ever. Pure ambrosia. In my family, we call it lemon cups, because it is baked in custard cups. The second best is Cottage Pudding, which is a pretty firm cake with hot lemon sauce poured all over it. I think you’d like it. I’ve also made a chocolate version of pudding cake. Good, but doesn’t hold a candle to lemon cups.

I love lemon anything. Thanks.

I saw this recipe this morning, and I just HAD to make it. It's in the oven right now :) Glen thank you so much for introducing me to my new hobby (cooking)!

I made this for my family on Christmas morning. We all loved it. Thanks, Glen! Merry Christmas! 🌲

Just made this dessert and the wife and I are hooked! Such a wonderfully light after dinner treat! Thank you!

Known over here in Australia as a self saucing pudding. I do versions of chocolate with boiled water hot cocoa sauce in a large coffee or soup cup in the microwave. Basically mix a cake batter in a cup with a sweet sauce. Cook for 45 sec to 90 sec dependent on power of microwave. Indervidual puddings...... easy and great for kids. Just be careful cups hot.

Love the Canadian Air Force hat, great recipes and stories, thank you.

The title sure aint a lie, I can say that much! Had my doubts tasting the batter, honestly. Added a couple small pinches of citric acid and hoped for success. Came out wonderful! Flavor concentrated nicely after the bake, and 3 of us managed to demolish it

Made this today with lemon and lime, and I used a cold water bath. Quick, easy to put together and delicious. Husband did eat most of the pan. I remember getting those boxes of sauce and cake back when I was a kid in the 80’s too and thought it was the best thing ever. Mine was still more of a custard on the bottom, but that’s okay.

Make sure you clean the beaters after the butter creaming. I left them with butter on them and my egg whites didn't stiffen. Still worked really well though, definitely making again. Cheers Glen!

Just made it today (joys of working from home) and utterly delicious. Used over-ripe limes instead, because our tree is currently going crazy and they're quite mellow. As Dennis Binyon mentioned below, appears to be called Lemon Delicious in Australia. You'd think I would know that, but as a child of European parents, I have missed some of the more common Australian treats. Really simple recipe, took me 35 minutes from scratch and included some cleanup. Highly recommended.

Just made this today. My husband and I love it! Thanks for the recipe.

Love Sauce and Cake it was first thing i thought of and hoped this recipe was. They were soo easy to make and soo tasty. The Cinnamon one was great also

The Frey Life sent me. Looking forward to this.

Can’t wait to try!

This sounds amazing! I can't wait to make this. "The Fry Life" sent us over to watch n learn how to make this. Mary is cooking up a storm in her kitchen and singing praises over your recipes.

Just made this. I messed up the egg whites by getting some yolk into them but I frothed them up as much as I could and incorporated them and baked it. It came out just fine and probably was slightly less airy then you got it! Great recipe. So simple with great results!

Hi Glen! We have a similar thing here (slightly different technique) in Tasmania we call Chocolate Self-saucing Pudding. Most school kids from the 1950s - 90s would've learned to make it at school from the Central Cookery Book - a book that dates back to the 1930s and served as a cooking and Home Economics text book for Tasmanian schools for ~50 years and has had 17+ revisions. It's fascinating to see how the contents has evolved over time. Thanks again for the wonderful videos.

Just made this recipe today - so simple but so good. It is made up of ingredients that most people will already have in their pantry. I served it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some raspberries. Many thanks!

Wow, just, wow! I made this today. I had my doubts while making this as I have never made anything like this before. Cakes, cookies, pies yes but not this. It is really, really good! Thanks Glen for sharing this one!!

Looks delicious. I will make. Thanx.

My mum use to make these as comfort food, havnt thought about it in years ty Glenn might have to try the recipe

Sometimes my favorite part of watching is seeing Glen taste the spoon before putting it into the dirty dish bin.

I just made this. Its incredible. My mom used to make this but the recipe was from a jamie oliver cookbook. Not gonna lie this is 10x times better.

Eating the entire pan.... how true! I make this with Stevia and rhubarb (add lots of finely grated orange rind) and it is an amazingly satisfying dish, easy to prepare. LOVE IT. Thx

I made this to take away for Easter. Except I substituted Swerve sweetener for the sugar and almond flour for the wheat flour. Kept to my low-carb diet. It turned out fantastically. I loved it, and apparently so did everyone else as there was none left at the end of the day.

Back in the day there was a recipe on the box of Grape-nuts cereal for lemon pudding cake and it was delicious. Oddly the Grape-nuts cereal worked in it despite their hard crunchy texture.

Looks great!!

My husband mentioned this to me last week and I just made it for dessert tonight. Sooo good! I also thought a rhubarb compote would go well, so I made some and topped the cake with it; perfect pair!

Oh man..apple cinnamon sauce n cake..I can still remember the smell and taste from my childhood. My mom would buy those when they were on sale for $1 as a quick easy weeknight dessert..I’m 39 and that is also over 30yrs ago 😅

I will make this for my husband, thank you for the recipe.

Love lemon pudfing cake. My mom also used the package mix but I've done it by scratch for years. I also have a chocolate version that's to die for!

Just made this, added juice and zest from an extra lemon. This is perfect. Thank you.

Yum! And true story: on my birthday I made myself a mini chocolate cake, didn't test it to see if it was actually done and in the middle was a pocket of uncooked batter. i ate it warm and, yes, it was a molten lava cake. Best mistake ever.

Ahhhhhh memories of the drive: Geraldton-Long Lac/Long Lac-Geraldton😎👍👍NOW, any cake that holds a place in your heart is to be made. For the New Year's table!🥇🏅 Thanks Glen, you are the dynamic duo!😉😉 Merry Christmas!

I have eaten this dessert all my life in our house its called a lemon delicious pudding and is a family go to every time

I had a gf make this for me while I visited recently. I found it to be too sweet only because I'm a huge fan of tart desserts. I literally poured lemon juice over each folk full as I ate it which made it perfect. We agreed if we make it again, we will cut the sugar in half and double if not triple the lemon juice. All in all quite pleasant.

Today God’s willing. 👋🏻🥰 Thank you for sharing your recipe.

This looks awesome

While I was growing up, I used to make a version of this in almost weekly basis as everybody loved it. besides, it was easy enough for a 12 years old to handle on her own. Looking back, it was a great start feeling pride in accompishing something and seeing smiles on people's face in one go. The book I used was caed "Mary Poppins in the Kitchen" so we assumed it was a nursary pudding. The recipe is almost identical but it has about one third less sugar and flour and develops a lovely slippery flan-like base, gooey custardy middle, and a slightly crunchy golden top. In the book, there were orange pudding recipe in exact same racio- only swapping an orange for a lemon. Somehow, the orange version did not develop the slippery base (baked much like Gren's cake). I guess its due to the difference in the acidity of the fruits?

Hi Glen, Hi Julie. My mother used to make this dessert. She said that my grandmother said that the amount of butter should be the size of an egg! Mom also said if you needed to make it for more people, just add more milk. She also made a chocolate version. It used an orange instead of the lemon plus cocoa.

Saucy cake mix I have eight of them in my cupboard. Merry Christmas everyone 🙏♥️

We have a couple of old family recipes like this one. First something we call Lemon Fluff, very similar to this but a little saucier and maybe a little less cake. The other one is a chocolate lovers delight- Saucy Brownie Pudding. Chocolate caky thing on top and a chocolate sauce on the bottom. Delicious!

There Is Always Pouding Chomeur. It Is Very Popular...

I love lemon so I will diffently going to try. It looks so delicious and you haven't started cooking yet. I greatly appreciate all the awesome food that you have cooked.🌷💮🌸 God Bless ✝️

It's absolutely delicious! I reduced the amount of sugar and it just melts in my mouth. Thank you so much for sharing this😋😋😊💕
