LEMON CAKE PIE



Lemon Cake Pie image

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!

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

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%

Steps:

  • Put rack on lowest position in oven.
  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together melted butter and sugar.
  • Stir in flour, salt, lemon peel and lemon juice.
  • In a small bowl, beat egg yolks with milk until well blended, stir into lemon mixture.
  • 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.).
  • Pour filling into pie crust.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Let cool before serving. But it's good warm too!

Time 40m

Yield 1 1, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 prepared pie crusts (refrigerated or frozen)
16 ounces williams-sonoma meyer lemon poundcake mix
2 (4 ounce) packets gelatin
1 large egg
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2/3 cup cornstarch
2/3 cup sifted cake flour
2 1/4 teaspoons salt
2 1/4 cups sugar
10 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 cup fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoons lemon rind
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
7 large egg whites
3/4 cup extra finely granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mush two prepared pie crusts together to line a 9-inch super deep dish pie plate. Crimp the edges decoratively. In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and cream to make a glaze. Prick the bottom of the shell with a fork, brush the top edges with the glaze, and line the bottom with parchment paper. Weight the shell with pie weights or dried beans, and bake until the edges begin to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove paper and weights; continue baking until golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes more. Let cool.
  • You will need at least 4 9-inch spring-form pans to prepare each layer of the pie separately.
  • To make the first layer of pie filling, disolve a packet of gelatin in water and bring to a boil over the stove, turn down the heat and then combine 1/3 cup each of cornstarch & cake flour, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 cup sugar over medium heat. Gradually add 1 cups cold water, and bring to a boil again, whisking constantly, about 4 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from heat. Temper 5 egg yolks by beating a small amount of hot mixture into the yolks before adding them to pan. You do not want them to scramble/curdle. You just want to heat the beaten yolks but keep them in a creamy, liquid form. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from heat, and whisk in the lemon juice and rind. Add the butter one piece at a time. Pour the mixture into a large bowl, and let cool.
  • Once cooled, pour the filling into a 9 inch spring form pan, covered with aluminum foil, and chill in the refrigerator until firm, at least 2 hours.
  • Repeat the above steps again, for the second layer of pie, and once completed, pour into another 9-inch springform pan and let chill.
  • In two additional 9-inch spring form pans, bake two lemon cakes using one half of a box of cake mix (Williams-Sonoma Meyer Lemon Pound Cake Mix) for one pan, and 1/2 the mix for the other pan. Let the cakes cool.
  • You should now have 4 layers---- 2 springform pans of chilled pie filling, and 2 spring form pans of thin lemon cake. To assemble the pie, start with the pre-cooked crust and sprinkle a dusting of powdered sugar across the bottom of the crust with either a fork or a brush. Then open the spring form pan of pie filling and place on top of the powdered sugar crust. A layer of lemon cake goes on top of that. Then place the second pie filling layer on top of that. You want to end up with a layer of cake on the very top, and the meringue topping will sit on that top layer of cake.
  • To make the meringue, pour the egg whites and creme of tartar into a very clean and dry copper or stainless steal mixing bowl. Beat on a low speed with an electric mixer. Gradually add in the salt and extra-fine sugar, but very very slowly, and gradually turn up the speed of the mixer. You want the egg white to beat till they form soft shiny frothy peaks, but not so stiff that they aren't flexible enough to swirl. Add the Vanilla at the very last moment. With a rubber spatula, swirl the beaten meringue into a 9-inch spring form pan, covering the entire perimeter of the pan and bake for 6 minutes or until lightly brown.
  • Let the Meringue topping cool for at least a half hour, then undo the spring form pan and place on top of the other cake/pie layers.

A surprise in the first slice, with layers of custard, cake, and whipped cream. My husband has coconut allergies, so if I make it for him I leave the coconut out.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 10-inch pie crust, unbaked
1 cup white sugar
1 cup milk
¾ cup shredded coconut
¼ cup butter, melted
¼ cup lemon juice
2 large eggs, separated
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 lemon, zested
1 ½ cups whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Press pie crust into a pie plate.
  • Mix sugar, milk, coconut, butter, lemon juice, egg yolks, flour, and lemon zest together in a bowl. Beat egg whites in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks. Fold lemon mixture into egg whites; pour into pie crust. Loosely cover the crust with aluminum foil to prevent browning.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes more. Cool pie to room temperature, at least 30 minutes; top with whipped cream.
