Homemade Lemon Pudding Cake
Description
The Homemade Lemon Pudding Cake combines butter, sugar, and lemon pie filling powder with eggs and a mix of milk and oil to produce a rich cake batter accented by fresh lemon zest. Flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt provide structure and lift, while vanilla extract adds subtle depth. After thorough mixing, the batter is baked in a greased Bundt pan at moderate temperature until a toothpick comes out clean.
The resulting cake has a moist and tender crumb with a mild lemon flavor that comes from the pudding mix and added zest, offering a soft texture and gentle citrus notes. It can be served plain or dusted with powdered sugar to highlight the lemon character.
