said yes only (not only /lh) to get that lime cake recipe. My birthday is soon and I'm getting a lemon bundt cake with cream cheese frosting bc citrus is awesome. (Also I'm a switch and very bisexual so I'm down for whoever and whenever so long as it's a good time)
People only want me for my recipes, I swear.
Key Lime Cake (Allen’s 25th Birthday Cake)
1 cup Canola or Olive Oil
3 Tablespoons Fresh Lime Zest
1 Tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
1/2 cup Butter (softened)
8 ounce Cream Cheese (softened)
4 – 4 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
1 Tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
1 teaspoon Fresh Lime Zest
Fresh Limes (sliced for garnish)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, add oil, eggs, whole milk, lime zest, and lime juice. Cream for 2 minutes.
In a large bowl, add sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir into egg mixture and fold.
Spray two 9-inch or three 8-inch cake pans with nonstick cooking spray. Place batter into baking pans. If using three 8-inch pans, bake for 20-26 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. If using two 9-inch pans, bake for 30-36 minutes. Cool. To make Lime Cream Cheese Frosting:
In a large bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping sides of bowl often. Add powdered sugar, lime juice, lime zest, and cream together. Chill. To make Lime Curd:
Place sugar, lime juice, butter, and lime zest in the top of a double boiler; stir over medium-high heat until butter melts.
Temper eggs by mixing 2 tablespoons hot lime mixture into eggs, stir to blend.
Reduce heat to medium until water simmers. Slowly whisk egg mixture into the lime mixture. Cook over the double boiler until lime mixture thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon, 20 to 25 minutes.
Cool slightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to overnight
Remove cakes from pan and pipe frosting around the edges of one of the cakes, with the top cut off. Then, fill with lime curd, and place the other cake on top. Garnish with frosting and fresh lime slices.
