I had some Meyer lemons I had bought on a whim so I thought I would give this a go. It's good but not really what I expect from a pudding cake. The top layer wasn't really a cake texture - it was very very light, almost to the point of being squishy like a cross between a light cake and a marshmallow. The flavour was really nice.
