Well if you have ever tried Kaluha cake, this is just a great take on that cake. I was looking in my cupboard chocolate pudding mix and all I had was Lemon and Pistachio. I thought "why not!" I'll even bet that you could use a lemon infused vodka for the vodka.. Hmmm, That sounds like I should give it a try. Anyway, I tryed it out on a bunch of high school kids. They loved it, but then again they were teenagers. Better yet the staff was scraping up the crumbs. That's my indicator of a good recipe. When it is all gone.
