LIME CAKE FROM SCRATCH
Delicious Lime Layer Cake from Scratch with Lime Curd Filling
Provided by Melissa Diamond
Number Of Ingredients 21
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 8 x 2 inch round pans. I split the layers for four layers to assemble the cake, your could also bake in three 8 x 2 pans. This will give you more lime curd per slice. I used the reverse creaming method for this recipe.
- In the bowl of your mixer combine the cake flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and lime zest.
- In a separate bowl combine eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and lime juice. Blend with a fork.
- Whisk the dry ingredients for 30 seconds to combine. Begin with your mixer on low speed, gradually increasing to medium speed as you add the slices of butter a few pieces at a time. Beat until the dry ingredients are crumbly and moistened by the butter. The look & texture will be similar to coarse sand. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to make sure there is no dry flour.
- Slowly add approximately 1/2 of the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and beat at medium speed for 1 1/2 minutes, the batter will become thick and fluffy. Scrape the bowl and add the remaining egg mixture in 2 additions, beating for 20 seconds after each addition.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes (25 to 30 minutes if you bake in 3 pans) or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cakes cool 10 minutes then turn out. Makes 6 1/2 cups of batter, works well for cupcakes.
- In a saucepan over medium heat bring the water and sugar to a boil. Turn the heat to low and stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is clear.
- Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice. Cool. If you want the mixture to be a thicker consistency, cook longer over low heat.
- Brush a small amount of the syrup onto your cake layers before you begin assembling your cake. Apply sparingly so that the cake does not become soggy. We apply while the cakes are still warm but you could also do this at room temp just before assembling. We prefer to use a pastry brush. With lime juice added to the mixture it will last 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.
- Combine sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan, pour in water. Over medium heat, stir the mixture constantly until it thickens and comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, remove the pan from the heat.
- Spoon about 1/2 cup of the hot mixture into a small bowl containing the egg yolks and stir quickly until combined.
- Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan. Return pan to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, approximately 1 min. The mixture will thicken slightly.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter, lime juice and lime zest. Cool before using.

KEY LIME BUNDT CAKE
This Bundt cake takes its flavor cues from Key lime pie and fuses it with the best part of a coffee cake: the streusel, of course! The cinnamon-scented nubbins get scattered in the pan, layered in the middle, and sprinkled on top before baking. As for the lime, a full cup of juice flavors the batter, the syrup that infuses the cake, and makes an appearance in the sweet and tart glaze.

Steps:
- For the Streusel: Preheat oven to 325°F. Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until fine (you should have 1 heaping cup); transfer to a large bowl and whisk in flour, salt, and cinnamon. Add brown sugar; whisk to combine. Using your fingers, work in butter until mixture is evenly moistened (you should have 3 1/4 cups). Brush a 10-to-15-cup Bundt pan with butter; dust with flour, tapping out excess. Sprinkle 1 cup streusel evenly into bottom of pan.
- For the Cake: Beat butter with granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and lime zest on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, to combine. Beat in flour in three additions, alternating with milk and then lime juice, beginning and ending with flour.
- Dollop half of batter over streusel in prepared pan. Sprinkle with 1 cup streusel; top with remaining batter. Spread with a spatula to cover streusel. Gather remaining streusel in your hands and press into large clumps before sprinkling over top to cover.
- Bake until a wooden skewer inserted in center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove cake from oven (leaving oven on) and let cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Turn out of pan onto a small baking sheet or pan large enough to hold cake; let cool 10 minutes.
- For the Syrup: Meanwhile, combine lime juice and granulated sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring, until sugar has dissolved, then continue cooking until thickened slightly, 1 minute. Brush cake all over with syrup, continuing to brush until all of syrup is used and absorbed. Return cake to oven and bake just until syrup is set, 5 minutes.
- For the Glaze: Meanwhile, whisk together confectioners' sugar and lime juice. Immediately after removing cake from oven, use a large spatula to transfer it to rack. Let stand 5 minutes, then brush all over with glaze, dabbing top so as not to displace streusel. Let cool completely before serving. Cake can be stored at room temperature, loosely tented with foil, up to 3 days.

KEY LIME CAKE
Subtle yet distinctive, the difference between Key Lime juice and regular lime juice comes through in this delicious cake. Because of its pale green color, this cake resembles a lemon cake...unless you add a few drops of green food color to the cake or glaze! The recipe came from a local paper years ago. My mile high altitude requires a longer cooking time, so you may have to adjust the timing on this.

Like always, I try to bring you the simple and easy versions of difficult and extensive recipes making sure they still have their same great taste and presentation. Here I am with another great but timesaving recipe that you can follow easily and the end result is simply outstanding. You won't have to spend hours in the kitchen baking this cake. It's easy and simple but still remarkable in taste and will surely be above your expectations!!! Tips & Tricks to make the Best Key Lime Cake: Whip the eggs, oil, lime juice, whole milk, and lemon zest together for 2 - 3 minutes. It is highly recommended to use the FRESH lime juice for this recipe. Fresh lime juice gives a different flavor to the cake. Zest the limes before squeezing them to collect the juice because it's easier to zest the limes when they are round and harder. Fold the dry ingredients in and pour the batter into the greased cake pans. It is very important to grease the cake pans before pouring the batter so that the cakes can come out of the pans easily. You can use either two 9-inches pans or three 8-inches cake pans. If you're using three 8-inch cake pans, the cake layers will be thinner and will be baked in lesser time. You can also make this cake in a 9 x 13 pan. After the cakes have been baked, set them aside to cool. Meanwhile, prepare your frosting by whipping the softened cream and butter together for about 4 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy. This 4-minutes whipping makes the frosting extra light. Now add powdered sugar in the mixture and whip for just 1 minute. You can add more powdered sugar if you like the frosting a bit stiffer. Fold the lime zest and lime juice in the frosting. Remove the cakes from the pan. Spread the frosting on the first cooled layer of the cake. Pace another layer of the cake on top of it. Spread the frosting on the top of the second layer too. You can use an angled spatula to spread the frosting evenly on the cake layers. Garnish the cake with fresh lime slices. Key Lime Cake Recipe Ingredients For Key Lime Cake: 2 cups of Flour 3 large Eggs 2 cups of Sugar 1 & 1/3 cup of Whole Milk 1 cup of Canola or Olive Oil 1 Tablespoon of Fresh Lime Juice 2 Tablespoons of Fresh Lime Zest 1 teaspoon of Baking Powder 1/2 teaspoon of Baking Soda 1 teaspoon of Salt For Cream Cheese Frosting: 1/2 cup softened Butter 8 ounces of softened Cream Cheese 4 to 41/2 cups of Caster Sugar 1/2 teaspoon of Fresh Lime Zest 1 Tablespoon of Fresh Lime Juice Fresh Lime Slices for Garnishing.

Now add flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in it. Mix them well and stir into the egg mixture and fold softly. Take two 9-inch or three 8-inch cake pans and spray them with nonstick cooking spray. You can also use oil or butter to grease them. Pour the batter into the pans. If you're using three 8-inch pans, bake them for 20-26 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean. But if you're using two 9-inch cake pans, bake the cakes for 30-36 minutes. When baked, take them out and let them cool. For Cream Cheese Frosting: Take a large bowl. In this bowl, mix the cream cheese and butter together for 4-5 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy. Keep scraping the sides of the bowl frequently. Now add powdered sugar, lime zest, and lime juice in the mixture. Mix it well and chill the frosting. Remove the cakes from the pans.

Steps:
- Make the lime curd: Combine the granulated sugar, egg and egg yolk, lime juice and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking, until thick enough to coat a spoon, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, a little at a time, until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, then stir in the lime zest and salt. Set in a larger bowl of ice and stir until the curd is completely cool. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface; refrigerate until ready to use.
- Make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a muffin pan with 12 cupcake liners. Pulse the wafer cookies in a food processor until finely ground. Melt 2 tablespoons butter; add to the processor and pulse until the mixture comes together. Press about 1 tablespoon crumbs into each muffin cup.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl; set aside. Combine the remaining 10 tablespoons butter and the granulated sugar in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, 5 minutes. Reduce the speed to low; beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla, lime zest and juice and beat until well combined. Add the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Increase the speed to medium high and mix until combined.
- Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters of the way. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Remove to a rack; let cool completely.
- Make the frosting: Beat the butter in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, 5 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and beat in the confectioners' sugar. Increase the speed to medium high; add the sour cream, lime juice and salt and beat until fluffy, 2 more minutes.
- Place the lime curd in a pastry bag fitted with a 1/4-inch tip. Insert the tip into the center of each cupcake and squeeze to fill. Frost the cupcakes, then pipe more lime curd on top. Top with lime slices and zest.
- Cook's Note: Key limes are smaller and more tart than regular limes. If you can't find them, look for bottled Key lime juice and use regular lime zest.

Steps:
- Prepare the Curd: Place egg yolks in a small heatproof bowl. Bring sugar and lime juice to a boil in a heavy nonaluminum 3 1/2-quart saucepan over medium-high. Remove from heat. Gradually whisk about one fourth of the hot juice mixture into egg yolks. Add egg yolk mixture to remaining hot juice mixture in saucepan, whisking constantly until well combined. Cook mixture over medium, whisking constantly, until thickened to pudding-like consistency, 6 to 8 minutes. Add butter cubes in 6 additions, whisking constantly after each addition until butter melts and mixture is well combined. Remove from heat. Pour mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl. Place plastic wrap directly on surface of mixture to prevent a film from forming. Chill at least 3 hours or up to 24 hours.
- While Curd chills, prepare the Cake Layers: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease (with shortening) and flour 3 (8-inch) round cake pans; set aside. Beat sugar and butter with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Gradually add egg whites, one third at a time, beating well on low speed after each addition. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with water, beginning and ending with flour mixture, beating on low speed until just incorporated. Stir in lime zest and vanilla. (Batter will appear broken.) Pour batter evenly into prepared cake pans. Bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in centers of cakes comes out clean, 18 to 21 minutes. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Invert cakes onto wire racks, and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Prepare the Frosting: Beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Gradually add powdered sugar, lime juice, vanilla, and salt, beating until smooth, about 2 minutes. Increase speed to medium-high; beat until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Spoon Frosting into a large piping bag with a tip cut off (about 1/2 inch).
- Assemble the Cake: Place 1 Cake Layer on a serving plate or a cake stand. Pipe Frosting in a ring (about 1/4-inch high) around top outer edge of layer. Spread one third of the Curd (about 1/2 cup) inside Frosting ring. Top with second Cake Layer; repeat Frosting piping and Curd spreading. Top with third Cake Layer; repeat Frosting piping and Curd spreading. Spread remaining Frosting around sides of cake, reserving about 1/2 cup in piping bag. Pipe reserved Frosting into a ring of 1/2-inch dots around top of cake. Garnish cake with lime zest.
