Bulk cake with a layer of lemons

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients for the pie according to the list. Let's start with the preparation of shortbread dough. Put the softened butter in a bowl. If desired, butter can be replaced with margarine, the pie will turn out to be more budget-friendly, but it will not negatively affect the taste. Pour in the sugar and beat in the chicken egg, add a pinch of vanilla and a pinch of salt to balance the taste. Mix the ingredients with a blender or mixer until a homogeneous mass is obtained.

2. Step 2:

   

   Sift wheat flour, add baking powder, mix. Pour wheat flour with baking powder into a bowl with a liquid mixture.

3. Step 3:

   

   Mix and knead the elastic smooth dough. It is impossible to knead the shortbread dough for a long time. The main thing is to collect it into a ball.

4. Step 4:

   

   Divide the dough into two parts, wrap the larger piece with cling film and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour, the small one in the freezer. Meanwhile, we will prepare the lemon filling for the pie. Lemons are washed with soap, dried with paper towels.

6. Step 5:

   

   Cut the lemons into pieces and put them in a bowl. Add sugar. To taste, the amount of sugar can be increased or decreased. With a blender or through a meat grinder, we twist the lemons with sugar to make a porridge-like mass. We transfer the lemon mass into a metal dish and put it on fire, boil the lemons for 15 minutes over medium heat so that the mass thickens a little. Let the lemon filling cool down a little.

7. Step 6:

   

   Take the dough out of the refrigerator and freezer. We roll out most of it into a round layer according to the size of the shape, but with a margin so that small sides turn out. We distribute the lemon filling according to the dough.

8. Step 7:

   

   Rub the smaller part of the dough on a coarse grater and sprinkle the filling on top of the pie with it. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. We send the pie to the oven for 25 minutes, focusing on the work of our oven. The cake should be slightly browned on top. We take the pie out of the oven, let it cool down a little and serve it to the table.
