Thanks for watching Everyone! Recipe is in the ^^^Description Box^^^. *Yes we are joking about molten cakes... Though they are still ridiculously priced.*

I made with a orange. ( Didn't have a lemon Handy) my wife said it is amazing

Wow, thank you. I made this at school when I was 12 (I am nearly 56 now). My mum was amazed when I brought it home. Long forgotten, but will attempt it soon.

This is kinda similar to a family cake we have in some old hand written recipe books. Ours is more of a sauce bottomed cake rather than anything else. and the method is slightly different, but the intended more or less outcome is the same. Sauce on the bottom and slightly mixed into the cake above. We make an orange sauce and pour it into the bottom of the dish, then pour the batter over the hot sauce and straight into an oven. As it bakes the sauce stays about maybe 50% at the bottom and the rest bakes into the cake. But the cake itself doesn't become super wet or anything. It is a recipe from my grandmother who adapted it from something similar her mother made (I don't know if I have that recipe but I believe it is an old Afrikaaner or Dutch recipe. ) EDIT: Recipe now included below. Main cake recipe: Ingredients: 3/4 cup self raising flour (250ml cup not packed. Sifted. I will try and convert this to grams the next time I make this) 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup milk (full cream milk is best) 1/4 cup melted butter 1 egg 1/2 teaspoon Bicarbonate of soda 1 Tablespoon Orange zest 1/2 teaspoon salt Batter instructions: Beat eggs and sugar together and add in melted butter. Add the rest of the ingredients except milk and Bicarbonate of soda. Add those last. No need to mix a lot. Mix till it is combined nicely. Sauce recipe: Ingredients: 1 cup water 1/2 cup Orange juice 1/2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon butter pinch or two of salt Final Instructions: Add all sauce ingredients to a small pot. Cook till the sugar is dissolved and then for one more minute on simmer. Remove sauce from heat and pour into an appropriate sized dish. (There is no recommended size but something around 25cm square and 8cm deep is more than enough for this batch size. ) While the sauce is still warm (although it can be cold), pour the batter over the top of the sauce gently. Some sauce will be on-top of the cake batter and that's perfectly fine. Bake in an oven at 175 Celsius (around 345F) for 20-25 minutes. Serve warm or cool. Personal notes. We like to double the sauce amount but only 1.5x the sugar amount in the sauce. For an extra saucy underside that isn't so sweet. But this recipe is very much up to your discretion and you can change oranges out with lemons or something else citrus. This is the re-written version of the recipe from my mother who write it down in 1990. My grandmother wrote her version (updated to make use of temperature controlled ovens funnily enough) in Afrikaans between 1950 and 1960.

This was in the Soufflé recipe book my father gave me as a 'leaving home' present, 50 years ago. It was called 'Lemon Pudding Souffle' although the book acknowledged that it wasn't a true soufflé.

We call it lemon delicious in New Zealand, at work we stew Rhubarb and serve the lemon delicious with the rhubarb and pouring cream... its fantastic.

After the box from my childhood, I bought a cookbook for my children that was written with a Mary Poppins theme. There was the recipe!

I'm going to make this for Thanksgiving. My MIL passed away recently, and she loved lemon desserts. This will be an delicious way to remember her.

over here in australia we call this lemon delicious pudding cheers.

My mother made this as a treat while I was growing up. By the way, it’s wonderful with fresh blueberries on the side.

Australian here, delicious recipe thanks. We call them self saucing puddings because they essentially make their own layer of sauce.

I would love to see a butterscotch version of this!

Holy cow this is amazing. I made it twice in two weeks. The second time my lemon was pretty small so I used a lemon and a lime and added a dash of vanilla! Tasted like a lemon-lime creamsicle. This recipe goes on rotation for sure.

A cake with lemon goo under the crumb? Oh, I am so with that idea! 👍

Those boxed pudding cakes were great back in the day .

I’ve been looking for this recipe for years! My mom used to make the “sauce n cake” from the box when I was a kid. I could never remember what it’s called and no one ever knows what I’m talking about when I try to describe it. Thanks!

Tried this a few weeks ago in a pinch to return a neighbor’s plate non-empty, and I couldn’t be happier to have found out they were on holiday. For the time and effort that goes into making it the end result is unbelievable. It’s certainly one of the best desserts I’ve had. I can’t wait to try out other ingredients like sour cherries and plums!

We made a double batch and used an orange and a lime. It turned out amazing. We can't wait to eat it all so we can make another!

Made this exact recipe today. The heading is correct! I almost ate the whole pan. Absolutely delicious 🤤. It my top dessert now! Thank you very much for sharing.

In UK I’ve always known it as “Canadian Lemon”. I thought a Canadian cook would have called it thus. It’s a fabulous pudding.

I love this lemon pudding. My mother discovered it in an American cookbook when she lived in the USA back in the 60s. Thoroughly recommend it. PS I'd use a deeper bowl and put cold water in the Bain Marie. If it cooks too thoroughly you don’t get the sauce at the bottom.

Greens' self-saucing puddings are a staple down under. Probably the first thing most kids learn to bake. And yes, the lemon one is the most popular.

I can't wait to try this. Never heard of it. You're a keeper. Married 45 yrs and hubby can't find his ass with both hands in the kitchen. Many men cook but few bake. Mine can do neither but I can and that's why we've been married 45 yrs lol :o)

soon as I saw the milk in a bag, I knew this was a Canadian show. Cheers from California!

I made this for my family on Christmas morning. We all loved it. Thanks, Glen! Merry Christmas! 🌲

This sounds amazing! I can't wait to make this. "The Fry Life" sent us over to watch n learn how to make this. Mary is cooking up a storm in her kitchen and singing praises over your recipes.

Glen separates his eggs over the whites bowl like a boss

My mum used to cook this and it was one of my favourite puddings growing up. She used to call it a lemon upside down cake. Thank you for taking me back to my childhood!

My favorite dessert from my childhood.

I am SO glad YT recommended this to me! I've never heard of this, but it looks and sounds wonderful! Subscribed.

The Frey Life sent me. Looking forward to this.

Just made this today. My husband and I love it! Thanks for the recipe.

My husband mentioned this to me last week and I just made it for dessert tonight. Sooo good! I also thought a rhubarb compote would go well, so I made some and topped the cake with it; perfect pair!

Sometimes my favorite part of watching is seeing Glen taste the spoon before putting it into the dirty dish bin.

Love the Canadian Air Force hat, great recipes and stories, thank you.

My mother-in-law makes a version of this, I think she calls it lemon delicious. We're in Australia btw 😁

Glen, I remember my Mom making this when I was young. My parents were coming for supper so I made your recipe today... and it was delish !!!

Aaah that was cute! I'll try it over the holidays, I love lemons :D

This looks so delicious! Thank you for sharing the recipe, and for transcribing it out of the metric system for us Americans.

My goodness. That looks incredible!

This looks so amazing I have to make it. I have a feeling it will be one of my favorite deserts.

I will make this for my husband, thank you for the recipe.

Love this. Based on the old fashioned "Half-hour Pudding". Mom made them often as they were quick and easy. I remember 'Sauce 'n Cake'. Great to hear you call the seeds "Pips". Thanks for sharing.

Saucy cake mix I have eight of them in my cupboard. Merry Christmas everyone 🙏♥️

Ahhhhhh memories of the drive: Geraldton-Long Lac/Long Lac-Geraldton😎👍👍NOW, any cake that holds a place in your heart is to be made. For the New Year's table!🥇🏅 Thanks Glen, you are the dynamic duo!😉😉 Merry Christmas!

Just made this, added juice and zest from an extra lemon. This is perfect. Thank you.

This is the Best Dessert Ever. Pure ambrosia. In my family, we call it lemon cups, because it is baked in custard cups. The second best is Cottage Pudding, which is a pretty firm cake with hot lemon sauce poured all over it. I think you’d like it. I’ve also made a chocolate version of pudding cake. Good, but doesn’t hold a candle to lemon cups.

This looks delicious! Going to have to give it a try.

I saw this recipe this morning, and I just HAD to make it. It's in the oven right now :) Glen thank you so much for introducing me to my new hobby (cooking)!

This was delicious, quick. Satisfying. Fixed my lemon craving. Thank you.

Jules is a trooper, shes always down to try anything in the kitchen.

I love lemon so I will diffently going to try. It looks so delicious and you haven't started cooking yet. I greatly appreciate all the awesome food that you have cooked.🌷💮🌸 God Bless ✝️

Wow, just, wow! I made this today. I had my doubts while making this as I have never made anything like this before. Cakes, cookies, pies yes but not this. It is really, really good! Thanks Glen for sharing this one!!

I saw this recipie on KZfaq here in Australia (A Canadian expat) and remembered those boxed pudding cakes from the 70s and thought we have a lemon tree out back and a friend who needs a pick-me-up. The cake turned out perfectly and we delivered it to our friend's door and the report was it was a success. This will now be a go-to for a simple homey cake. Thanks!

My sister lived in Longlac for many years, her husband worked at a pulp mill. My Grandmother made us these cakes/puddings she also made a brown sugar version and a chocolate version, brings back memories.

Lemon bread pudding, delicious! Thanks for the recipe.

Love lemon pudfing cake. My mom also used the package mix but I've done it by scratch for years. I also have a chocolate version that's to die for!

Outstanding and so simple to make. Instead of lemon, used an orange and some rhubarb to give the needed tartness. Used half Stevia, half sugar with good results. Thank you for great recipe and clear instructions.

Saw this by chance and made it immediately.....delicious and so easy to make. Thanks for the recipe.

It's absolutely delicious! I reduced the amount of sugar and it just melts in my mouth. Thank you so much for sharing this😋😋😊💕

Just made this recipe today - so simple but so good. It is made up of ingredients that most people will already have in their pantry. I served it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some raspberries. Many thanks!

Lemon self saucing pudding is one of my all time faves. The chocolate one is pretty good too. Come to think of it, the butterscotch is pretty darn good as well! I’ve never seen a recipe for it though, what a treat!

Just made this dessert and the wife and I are hooked! Such a wonderfully light after dinner treat! Thank you!

In NZ this is often known as Lemon Delicious. In tough times I did occasionally serve it up as the main course with the instruction to the kids 'If you don't eat your pudding (dessert) you can't have any dinner!' It always worked. And now I live alone i sometimes tell myself the same thing, Best served with lashings of cream, the pouring variety. Go easy on buttering the pan, the crusty bits on the edges are the cook's treat, And yes, I can still manage a whole pan, but it is also great for breakfast.

Looks great!!

My dad and I were just talking at Xmas about how much we missed those Sauce 'n' Cakes from years ago. One of our favourite boxed desserts and we haven't seen it on the shelves for years here in Atlantic Canada. I have another recipe that replicates it but have yet to try it. I might have to do a head-to-head with it vs. your recipe. Thanks for sharing it!

I absolutely need to make this! Looks amazing.

Found you today via Frey Life! Looking forward to looking around your channel!

Merry Christmas! Thank you for your videos. Take care.

I love lemon anything. Thanks.

Made this today with lemon and lime, and I used a cold water bath. Quick, easy to put together and delicious. Husband did eat most of the pan. I remember getting those boxes of sauce and cake back when I was a kid in the 80’s too and thought it was the best thing ever. Mine was still more of a custard on the bottom, but that’s okay.

Thank you for the recipe and videos. I have tried a couple of them now and this lemon pudding cake is great!

Great idea, i will make this tomorow!

My favourite version of this kind of cake was from the Milk Calendar collection. Thanks for doing this!

Can’t wait to try!

Mary Frey sent me !! So glad to be here.

I got the shout out for your site from the Frey Life. I made this today for our Easter Dinner tonight. It looks and smells so good. Thank you.

Just made it today (joys of working from home) and utterly delicious. Used over-ripe limes instead, because our tree is currently going crazy and they're quite mellow. As Dennis Binyon mentioned below, appears to be called Lemon Delicious in Australia. You'd think I would know that, but as a child of European parents, I have missed some of the more common Australian treats. Really simple recipe, took me 35 minutes from scratch and included some cleanup. Highly recommended.

Yet another new viewer sent by The Frey Life! 😁👍🏻 Looks like there are quite a few of us here.🥰

This looks awesome

Looks delicious. I will make. Thanx.

Came from the Frey Life, cooking it up now!

Eating the entire pan.... how true! I make this with Stevia and rhubarb (add lots of finely grated orange rind) and it is an amazingly satisfying dish, easy to prepare. LOVE IT. Thx

Just made this. I messed up the egg whites by getting some yolk into them but I frothed them up as much as I could and incorporated them and baked it. It came out just fine and probably was slightly less airy then you got it! Great recipe. So simple with great results!

Love Sauce and Cake it was first thing i thought of and hoped this recipe was. They were soo easy to make and soo tasty. The Cinnamon one was great also

Love the kettle! You need to get Bialetti to sponsor some videos, and feature this kettle more often!

There was a recipe for this on an egg carton I saved from years ago . It is definitely saucy . I will have to check and see hat is different .

Love all your recipes (with the exception of pork cake!) and this lemon one looks good. Would you consider doing a whole orange cake? I just took one out of the oven to cool, it smells so good. It is one where you boil whole oranges and then purée them to add to the batter. I would find your take on it interesting.

Hi Glen! We have a similar thing here (slightly different technique) in Tasmania we call Chocolate Self-saucing Pudding. Most school kids from the 1950s - 90s would've learned to make it at school from the Central Cookery Book - a book that dates back to the 1930s and served as a cooking and Home Economics text book for Tasmanian schools for ~50 years and has had 17+ revisions. It's fascinating to see how the contents has evolved over time. Thanks again for the wonderful videos.

its like making buttermilk in the cake batter, fascinating, I can't wait to make this tomorrow!

Yum! And true story: on my birthday I made myself a mini chocolate cake, didn't test it to see if it was actually done and in the middle was a pocket of uncooked batter. i ate it warm and, yes, it was a molten lava cake. Best mistake ever.

i love myself a lemon sauce n; cake ... glad you showed us how to make it yourself ... kuz i have been trying to cut out a lot of pre-processed things ... like desserts, cheese, margarine, and other preprocessed 'boxed' things

I like that, too!

I made this today with brown sugar because it was all I had. It came out great. Thank you.

You are so blessed, Glen's wife, he is cute and can cook/bake. May you both have many happy years together.

I have eaten this dessert all my life in our house its called a lemon delicious pudding and is a family go to every time

Looks mouthwatering! Merry Christmas, have a great 2020!🎄🎉

We have a couple of old family recipes like this one. First something we call Lemon Fluff, very similar to this but a little saucier and maybe a little less cake. The other one is a chocolate lovers delight- Saucy Brownie Pudding. Chocolate caky thing on top and a chocolate sauce on the bottom. Delicious!

My grandma made a chocolate pudding that floated on the sauce. This looks good too.

I made this to take away for Easter. Except I substituted Swerve sweetener for the sugar and almond flour for the wheat flour. Kept to my low-carb diet. It turned out fantastically. I loved it, and apparently so did everyone else as there was none left at the end of the day.
