Instructions: Step 1: Preparing the Batter In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
Step 2: Adding Wet Ingredients Add the softened butter, eggs, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
Step 3: Preparing the Pan Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Step 4: Adding the Lemon Pie Filling Spoon the lemon pie filling over the cake batter, spreading it out evenly to cover the surface of the batter.
Step 5: Baking: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Cooling and Serving Once baked, remove the lemon pie cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
