Instructions
- Prepare Lemon Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant lemon pudding mix and milk until smooth. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to thicken properly.

- Layer the Cake: In a 9×13 inch dish, arrange a layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom evenly.
- Spread Pudding Mixture: Spread half of the lemon pudding mixture evenly over the graham cracker layer.
- Repeat Layers: Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding, then spread the remaining pudding mixture over this second layer.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 4 hours, allowing the graham crackers to soften and flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
