Lemon Cake Pie
By: Engrossed
Nov 14, 2006
From Sunset cookbook. I love this! It's my favorite pie. You get a lemon curd on the bottom and a thin lemon cake on the top but it pours into the pie crust all mixed up! Please use fresh squeezed lemon juice. If you love lemon desserts, you'll love this!
SERVES 8 , 1 pie
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch deep dish pie crust, I use Marie Callender's frozen. No need to defrost. No need to prebake
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel, I usually add more
- 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, please use fresh
- 3 eggs, separated
- 1 1/4 cups milk, I use 2%
Directions
1
Put rack on lowest position in oven.2
Preheat oven to 375.3
In a medium bowl, stir together melted butter and sugar.4
Stir in flour, salt, lemon peel and lemon juice.5
In a small bowl, beat egg yolks with milk until well blended, stir into lemon mixture.6
In another medium sized bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until they hold distinct but moist peaks. Gently fold egg whites into lemon mixture. (Don't mix it too much.).7
Pour filling into pie crust.8
I always end up with more filling than will fit in the pie crust so I put it in a couple ceramic rammekins and cook it along with the pie.9
Bake on the lowest rack of the oven until the top is browned and the center jiggles only slightly when pan is gently shaken (45-55 minutes). If the crust begins to brown excessively, drape it with foil.10
Let cool before serving. But it's good warm too!

Outstanding, A Real Keeper! Thanks so much for a fast and easy recipe! I made this today and loved the lemony taste and the way that it just came together so quickly! I took another reviewer's advice and covered it in tinfoil for the first 30 minutes then it browned beautifully! This is definitely one that I will make to impress lemon lovers!

I actually made this for Easter this year but am just now getting around to reviewing. This was so delicious! All 10 family members in attendance agreed that this was wonderful! I baked this with foil over the top for the first 37 minutes and then took it off so that the cake-pie browned for only a short while - just a personal preference!

Oh BOY this was soooo good!!! I made it just as directed and as you did, had some filling left over which I cooked in individual ramekins. The fresh lemons brought out a beautiful flavor and the pie was not overly sweet. The "cake" layer was moist and the "custard" layer was smooth and creamy. I can't say enough about this wonderful dessert - just loved it!

I was looking for a recipe I could use to make mini tarts, so I thought I'd try this. You are right when you say it makes a lot of filling! Had enought for 24 tarts and a pie! This was very tasty! The only change I would make is to double the lemon juice - I would like a little more tang. Thank you!
