Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup key lime juice
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp key lime zest
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp key lime juice (for glaze)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, key lime juice, milk, and key lime zest. Whisk until well combined.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
-
Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and 1 tbsp of key lime juice until smooth.
-
Once the cake is out of the oven, let it cool for 10 minutes. Then, poke several holes on top of the cake using a toothpick or skewer.
-
Drizzle the key lime glaze over the warm cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
-
Let the cake cool completely before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional key lime zest or whipped cream.
