Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Peel and boil the yam until tender, about 20 minutes.

Drain the yam and mash it in a large bowl until smooth.

Add sugar, butter, and eggs to the mashed yam; mix until well combined.

Stir in vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until incorporated.

In a separate bowl, combine flour and baking powder; gradually add to the yam mixture.

Pour in milk and lime juice; mix until smooth and creamy.

Transfer the mixture into a greased pie dish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until the top is golden and set.

Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving.
