Simple lemon pie
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. The cake turns out moist, but don't confuse it with being underbaked—it bakes beautifully inside, tender and wonderfully lemony! The only downside is that it disappears from the table in an instant! The portion is small, yet sufficient for a small family when you want to delight your loved ones with fresh baked goods. You can decorate this cake with powdered sugar, lemon slices, or chocolate glaze (especially delicious with white chocolate glaze). In summer, I make glaze from berries or fruits. Check out the recipe, try the cake—I'm sure you'll love it. Serve with tea or coffee.

Prepare the ingredients and thoroughly wash the lemon. Use butter at room temperature. If you didn't take it out of the refrigerator in advance, place it in the microwave at the highest power for 10-15 seconds, no longer. Turn on the oven to preheat to 180 degrees.

Add the flour and baking powder. It's better to switch to a K-shaped attachment and mix at medium speed for a couple of minutes until the dough becomes smooth. You will see lumps in the dough—these are pieces of lemon.

Line the pie pan with parchment paper or use a non-stick one. In any case, grease it with butter. Pour in the batter—it will be thin—and level it with a spoon. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
