I made this just this week and it was pretty good. Very light and very lemony. I did make it with blueberries instead of blackberries though. Yummy and easy to make.

This recipe sounds wonderful and would like to try it for a dinner party. Does anyone think there may be a problem with doubling it? Eat well!

I made this recipe this weekend. I cooked it for almost TWICE the specified time and it was still very watery. I served it warm and had leftovers; as the leftovers sat, the top cake part soaked up the liquid at the bottom to become a gross mush.

In addition, it was overly sweet (and I LOVE sweet stuff!). I was not impressed at all and will not make it again.

chalk up another one in the continuing mysterious saga of the "you either love it or you hate it blackberry lemon pudding cake."

(see the previous threads if you are wondering what I mean.)

what is going on?? anyone?

I made this tonight and thougth it was Excellent. It is funny how everyone eather hates it or loves it!! I cooked it the right amount of time. It is a pudding so it's suppose to be soft. And mine was like pudding on bottom and cake on top. I used raspberries. I will be making this again and again.
I do have a question thought. I assume you keep this in the refrig. But I served it warm from the oven. Do you re-heat the leftovers or eat it cold?

Tiger,
This dessert doesn't last too long in our house, so we usually leave it sitting out. On the odd occasion that it isn't eaten in 24 hrs, we do stick it in the fridge. My husband eats it cold, like you would pudding; I like to put mine in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds so its warmish, but not hot.

DD came home from B'ham QUITE inspired!!! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif She made the Blackberry-Lemon Pudding Cake yesterday. (She used blueberries) -- only one word to describe it: mmmmmmmmmm! We LOVED it! Light, lemony "pudding" on the bottom; delicious cake on top. A definite "make again" here!

Sorry to bump this old thread back up but ohmigod - this is amazing! This is a recipe I never even considered making before I saw all these reviews but I'm so glad I got curious and tried it (with frozen blueberries), it's great. Much lighter than I thought it would be - almost souffle-like! In fact when I realized I didn't have any veggies to bring for lunch today I put a big scoop of this in some tupperware and brought it to work - its got fruit, eggs for protein, milk for calcium - a healthy lunch, right??

[JillC]

We eat this as a dessert, breakfast, lunch, snack...you can see why it doesn't stay around very long in our house. And if anyone told me it wasn't healthy, I wouldn't believe them! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/wink.gif

I made this a few weeks ago. I took it out of the oven to let it cool while I washed dishes. It was devoured by my kids and a few of their friends. I managed to get two mouthfuls and it was soooo yummy.
It is very lemony with a light sponge cake on top. I would like to double it since the portion is rather small. Has anyone done so?
I would definetely make it again, but not necessarily for company since it doesn't have a, WOW presentation.

[JillC]

I've never tried to double this recipe. I assume you'd have to make it in a 9 x 13 pan and I don't know how to pull that off with the water bath.
Actually, I think this has the same kind of wow effect as a souffle does. Just present it at the table right after it comes out of the oven. I also think it would look really nice served with a few fresh berries and maybe a sprig of mint or lemon balm on the top or side.
