Meyer-Lemon Pudding Cake image

The gift of a half dozen Meyer lemons sent me in search of new ways to use this special fruit. Much sweeter than the common lemon, it is akin to a Mandarin orange has an edible peel. Alas, my supply ran out before I had a chance to try this recipe from Bon Appetite. One day I will, but in the meantime I'm sharing it with my fellow cooking companions. Please note the cake calls for a chilling 2 hours to overnight. Makes this a great make ahead dessert for a dinner party or other occasion.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. The lemon flavor was there, but it was overpowered by the sweetness of the cake and the pudding filling. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
