It's from Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book (1996). I really like Better Homes and Gardens cookbooks. They are basic yet have a wide variety of recipes, which is useful as I pare down my cookbook collection. I searched on the B.H.&G. website for this recipe, to no avail, so here it is:
Lemon Pudding Cake
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel (I used all the lemon peel)
3 tablespoons lemon juice (used all the lemon juice)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted (used butter)
2 slightly beaten egg yolks
1 cup milk
2 egg whites
Combine sugar & flour. Stir in lemon peel, lemon juice & melted butter. Combine egg yolks & milk. Add to flour mixture; stir just till combined. Beat egg whites till stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into lemon batter. Transfer batter to a 1-quart casserole. Place the casserole in a large pan on an oven rack. Pour hot water into the large pan surrounding the casserole to a depth of 1 inch.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree (Farenheit) oven about 40 minutes or till golden & top springs back when lightly touched near the center. Remove casserole dish from the water bath & cool just until warm. Best served when warm.
Makes 4 servings.
Just look at that delectable pudding juxtaposed against soft crumbly cake. It's such a pretty pastel yellow.
My Darling Husband taste tested it last night.
This evening he was out, and I was left alone with the pudding cake.
I tried to save some for you, Darling Husband.
Really I did.
But my sweet tooth got the better of me.
Guess I'll have to make more!

the taste of summer
Lemon is a perfect summer flavor. It's light and refreshing, whether in a savory dish or included in a dessert. I made this Lemon Pudding Cake last night. It's great except for the hot oven, so I like to bake things at night during the summer, when possible. Delish!

swimmin' with the frogs
This was my dream pool (no idea where the photo's from; have had it saved on my computer for a few years, along with other home idea pictures): 
flowers right up to the water's edge...chairs close by to sink into after a morning swim...clear, blue water.... When I started landscaping plans for our house last year, I envisioned swimming with the scents of roses and lavender wafting by. My Darling Husband had other thoughts--keep the plants as far away from the pool as possible. His reasoning for that makes logical sense, so I've compromised on the landscaping scheme.
Well, at least our chairs are close to the water's edge, and the water becoming clear and blue is not a dream, but reality. It's becoming reality. Cleaning out a (our) pool is arduous labor, especially when that pool is inhabited by the green reptilian set and is as gooey as the bottom of a muddy Midwestern lake. I'd almost rather pay a certain pool company the $1,800 they would charge to clean it. If we had the green monetary set, that is.
Instead we have started the cleaning process ourselves. I must commend My Darling Husband for donning some old clothes and venturing into the murky waters to scoop the goo. I was the one staying (mostly) dry by carting the goo in the wheelbarrow to the compost bin. Little black tadpoles and polliwogs in dark brown leafy goo, and marina stench x 100 = gag me with a spoon...and a fork and knife!
That was yesterday. A big, strong male friend with a stronger countenance than me has offered to help My Darling Husband turn our pond back into the pool it was meant to be. Whew, thank goodness for friends! He can have all the swim time he wants when the pool is ready for occupation by humans.
