OMG, MA.......that looks and sounds just out of this world !! I love anything lemon, in fact I prefer it 100 to 1 over anything chocolate. As you know I don't bake much but I'm sure giving this a try. Do you remember years ago there used to be a box mix for a lemon pudding cake? It came in chocolate too, but the lemon one was soooo good. I guess they took it off the market because I liked it.
This is all copied and printed, and TSM

Correction: My "6" key is sticking sometimes so it didn't show up in #6 above. Maybe a mod can fix it for me. It should say to "cool for 3-6 hours".
Don't refrigerate it for more than 6 hours because then it's hard to get out of the ramekin. It's just as tasty and easier to bake it in an 8 X 8" pan if you opt for that...just not as pretty

hellooo up there 4meandthem

kayelle...they don't sell that boxed Lemon Pudding Cake anymore? I never bought it but I remember it. I miss the boxed Date Bars. I don't like raisins or dates but I loved those...go figure.

Yes, I think I'll do it in a 8x8 pan MA......I made your correction on my print out.
Nope, I haven't seen that box mix in many many moons.

Well, remember that if you use an 8 X 8" glass pan that you still have to set it in the roasting pan and pour hot water in half way up. I think that keeps the sides nice and moist.

Josie...you're very welcome
