Lemon Cake Pie, 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!, The first two times I made the lemon cake pie, it turned out perfectly, but the last two times I made it it didn’t turn out right. The egg whites separated and formed a nice cake on top, but instead of a creamy custard at the bottom, it was a firm and disgusting texture with an eggy taste. The only difference I can think of is that I made it with a different oven, but I made sure to wait until the top was brown and it was thoughtfully cooked. I’m pretty sure that I beat the egg whites correctly. Did i not mix the egg whites with the pie mixture correctly or something? Someone please help me!, In response to previous reviews, lemon cake pies do not have the same consistency as a cream pie. It should have more of the texture of a quiche. I am basing this on years of old southern recipes for this dish.
