Lemon Cake Pie

Certainly on the pie side of cake.

It’s called “cake pie” because a cake-like layer forms on top of the custard-like layer when you bake it. There are references going back as far as the 1910s, but they’re pay-per-view; here’s a mention from the April 23, 1936 edition of the Middlesboro (Kentucky) Daily News.

From the box of D.W. from Cedar Falls, Iowa.
