Lemon Pudding Cake [Crock Pot or Oven]


My Dear husband had no idea just how much he was going to enjoy this until he picked up his fork. To his surprise it was perfect, not to tart & not too sweet.



Ingredients:
- 3/4 C sugar (or less if you like it less sweet)
- 1/4 C cake flour
- pinch salt, 1/8 tsp
- 3 eggs, separated
- 1 1/4 C milk
- 1 T grated lemon zest [substitute 1/4 tsp lemon extract]
- 1/4 C lemon juice

Directions:
1.Grease 9x9 inch[square] baking pan and preheat oven to 325 degrees.[IF using oven]
2. Combine sugar, flour and salt in bowl.
3. Beat egg yolks, milk, lemon zest & lemon juice in a bowl.
Pour this mixture into flour mixture and mix together.
4. Beat egg whites with electric beater until stiff peaks form.
Fold this mixture into the egg yolk mixture.
5. Pour batter into pan and bake about 35 minutes.
6. The top should be golden brown but the bottom will still be soft. Let cool.

ENJOY!

***Crock Pot/Slow Cooker NOTE*** If you want to use slow cooker, pour/spoon batter into cold crock and turn on HIGH for 2-3 hours. Edges can become darker, but it is a nice chewy crispness that can be enjoyed.

You can eat this cake warm but you can also cool it completely in the fridge and eat it cold with a dollop of whipped cream. Yum!
