How to Make Lemon Cake Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.
  5. Stir in the melted butter until fully incorporated.
  6. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the egg whites into the lemon mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pie crust.
  9. Bake for 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
  10. Reduce the oven temperature to 275°F (135°C) and continue baking for 65-75 minutes, or until the pie is golden brown and only slightly jiggly in the center. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached.
  11. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
