Our 2-Ingredient Lemon Sticky Pudding offers a perfect blend of convenience and decadence. Imagine a dessert that takes just minutes to prepare yet fills your kitchen with the irresistible aroma of lemony goodness.
Whether you need a last-minute treat for guests or a quick fix for your sweet tooth, this lemon dessert delivers on flavor and simplicity. Perfect for lemon lovers. The combination of cake and lemon pudding creates a truly unique fluffy cake. This dessert is reminiscent of a lemon bar recipe, but it is even easier.
This recipe starts out with a boxed cake mix. It’s a quick and easy way to make something sweet for the family. We like the fluffy and sticky texture, so we make ours in an 8 x 8 baking pan. When we want to feed a crowd, we double the recipe to fit a 9 x 13 baking pan.
What is Sticky Pudding?
Sticky pudding is a moist and rich dessert, typically made with a soft, cake-like texture that absorbs sweet sauces or syrups, giving it a gooey, “sticky” consistency. Traditional sticky puddings, like Sticky Toffee Pudding, often feature caramel or fruit-based components. In this 2-Ingredient Lemon Sticky Pudding, the lemon curd and pound cake create a soft, almost custard-like interior, making it an easy and delightful variation of classic sticky puddings.
