Lime Glazed Cake Food

LIME POUND CAKE W/ FRESH LIME GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 F.
• Generously grease and flour a bundt pan. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl sift together flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
• In a large bowl cream together shortening, butter and sugar.
• Beat in eggs one at a time until batter is fluffy.
• In a small bowl, mix together buttermilk and lime yogurt.
• Alternate adding the buttermilk yogurt mix and the dry mixture into the wet batter.
• Mix in vanilla extract, lime juice, and lime zest until well combined.
• Spoon batter into prepared pan.
• Bake for 1 hour and 15-20 minutes. (I check the center edges with a wooden skewer to make sure it is completely done)
• Let cake cool before gently removing from the pan.
• When cake has cooled completely drizzle with glaze.
• To make the glaze, mix together powdered sugar and enough lime juice to create a thick, yet pourable consistency (think Elmer's glue) Stir in lime zest.
• Serve cake garnished with lime slices, a sprinkling of lime zest, and vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

TRIPLE LIME BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• To make the cake: In a mixer set with the paddle attachment, beat the butter over medium speed until soft and creamy, about 5 minutes. Add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until well mixed and creamy, another 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the egg yolks, add the lime zest and continue to beat until fully incorporated, another 2 minutes or so. Reduce the speed to low, and gently add the all-purpose flour, salt and baking powder. Continue to beat for another couple minutes. The batter should be completely homogeneous and feel a bit dense and heavy.
• Transfer the batter to a large mixing bowl. Rinse the bowl of the mixer well and change the paddle attachment to the whisk attachment. Beat the egg whites on medium-high speed, until they hold stiff peaks, about 4 to 5 minutes. Slowly, incorporate a bit of the whipped-up egg whites into the heavy batter. Repeat with the rest of the egg whites, folding them gently but persistently, until the batter is completely incorporated and seems lighter and puffier. Don't overmix, or you will remove the puff effect from the beaten egg whites.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the sides and bottom of a 14-cup bundt pan and lightly coat with all-purpose flour. Shake out any extra flour. Pour the batter into the prepared mold and bake in the oven about 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown on top, seems beautifully puffed up and a toothpick comes out moist but not wet. Remove from the oven. Let cool for at least 10 minutes.
• To make the lime syrup: Combine the lime juice with the granulated sugar in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat for a couple minutes, just until the sugar has dissolved.
• Run the tip of a knife around the edges of the cake. Place an inverted platter or board on top of the bundt pan. Invert to release the cake. With a toothpick or wooden skewer, poke holes all over its surface, going as deep as the toothpick will go--I poke at least 100 times! Pour half the lime syrup evenly over the cake. Let it absorb for a few minutes. Pour over the rest of the syrup and let it sit for a few minutes, while you make the glaze.
• To make the lime glaze: In a small mixing bowl, using a small whisk or fork, combine the lime juice with the vanilla and confectioners' sugar until thoroughly mixed. With a tablespoon, add half the glaze, one tablespoon at a time, over the cake, slowly so it absorbs and coats the cake. Wait a few minutes and add the rest of the glaze. Let some of the extra glaze slide down the sides, as it will give it a pretty glazed look. Grate some fresh lime zest over the top.
• If there is any leftover, cover so it will remain moist -- it usually becomes more moist after a day or two.

KEY LIME BUNDT CAKE

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.
