If you like lemon meringue pie, you will love this recipe.
Ingredients:
1 (18.25 ounce) package lemon cake mix
1 ¼ cups water, or as needed
3 eggs
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 (21 ounce) can lemon pie filling
3 egg whites
Directions:
Step 1 Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 3 8-inch cake pans.
Step 2 Mix the cake mix, water, eggs, and vegetable oil as directed on the package, and pour batter into prepared cake pans.
Step 3 Bake the layers in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in pan for at least 20 minutes or until completely cool.
Step 4 When the cake is completely cool, run a paring knife between the cake and the edge of the pan. Hold the cake pan on its side and gently tap the sides of the pan against the counter to loosen it. Cover the cake pan with a plate or cooling rack, and invert it to tip the cake out of the pan and onto the plate.
Step 5 To fill and decorate, lay a cake layer onto an oven-safe plate, and spread half the lemon filling over the bottom layer. Place a second layer gently on the lemon filling, and spread the rest of the filling on the top of the second layer. Top with the third layer.
Step 6 Beat the egg whites in a bowl until they form stiff peaks, then continue to beat until the mixture forms a fluffy, shiny meringue. Spread the meringue all over the cake like a frosting, spreading it into decorative peaks and swirls. Place the decorated cake back into the hot oven, and bake until the peaks and swirls of meringue are lightly browned about 10 minutes. Refrigerate 4 hours to overnight, then serve cold.
Consume Miracle Berry:
Just before digging in, chew 1 or more freeze-dried miracle berry (this can also be done during the preparation of ingredients). Ensure to remove pits to avoid a bitter taste.
Fact:
The active ingredient miraculin from miracle berry will turn sour foods such as lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, non-fat yoghurt and other citrus food to taste sweet without adding sugar. We recommend two halves or 2 servings for maximum effectiveness. Make sure to follow instructions from the back of the packaging.
Note: Sometimes you may need to add at least 5-7% of the total quantity of sugar required, this is due to the chemistry of the food, however, you may skip this as you wish. The goal is to totally reduce sugar and yet experience the same taste.
