Austen Family Cooks: Lemon Pudding Cake

I am taking a few minutes away from the worlds of literature and film to write about something really tasty:dessert of the lemon variety.I must have citrus on the brain lately because the last such post I wrote was about Lemon Shake-Ups.I lovely anything that features lemon as the main ingredient, especially during the warm months.
Lemon Pudding Cake is more like a souffle, only much easier to make. It tastes exquisite and is a cinch to prepare, as long as you mind the delicate thread that runs between the concepts of too soupy and too dense.It can be served warm or cold. I imagine that it would be lovely with some vanilla ice cream, although we have never dared dilute the experience by including any accompaniments.

LEMON PUDDING CAKE

2 EGGS,SEPARATED
1 TEASPOON GRATED LEMON PEEL
1/4 CUP LEMON JUICE
