Bake and Serve

Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the edges are pulling away from the sides of the baking dish.

Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice just won't cut it here.
Don't overmix the lemon pudding mixture. Overmixing can incorporate too much air, which can lead to a cake that doesn't set properly.
Be patient and let the cake cool before serving. This allows the pudding layer to set and ensures a clean slice.
