Ingredients

• 1 Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 Eggs, room temperature
• 1 cup Whole milk, room temperature
• 0.5 cup Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish if using a homemade crust. Press the pie crust into the dish and crimp the edges if desired.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the texture is sandy and crumbly.

Step 4

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until beaten. Stir in the milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, whisking continuously to create a smooth, lump-free batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared pie crust, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top of the filling is set and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 8

Let the Lemon Cake Pie cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving. The filling will firm up as it cools.

Step 9

Optional: Dust the top of the pie with powdered sugar for garnish before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Serve plain or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch.
