  1. This is cooling as I type. I snagged a piece from it because it smelled so good and I couldn't resist. I also made it in a loaf pan and I have put a lime glaze on top after poking holes in it so it could soak in. I didn't use the peanuts just out of personal preference. You have to try this one if you like Limes!!

  2. This is a very easy cake to do since i usually have everything on hand. I used key limes and added about 3 tsp of zest in for looks. I also double glazed it with a lime glaze I found on another site. Like some of the others, I made it in a loaf pan. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

  3. this cake was so great! it wasn't as fluffy as some other reviewers said theirs was, but that's probably because i hand beat the batter....very delicious lime taste :)) my lime gave 3 tbs of juice and a very delightful light 'crust' baked on the outside--- will definitely make again THANK YOU! ^^

  4. Yummy and wonderful recipe! I sprinkled salted co*cktail peanuts on top before baking. I love the sweet, lime fluffy-ness of the cake and the crunchy-ness of the peanuts. Perfect for a crunchy, salty, sweet lover like me! Thanks for an easy and great recipe!

  5. What a delightful little cake. Dense yet soft with a very nice twang from the lime. Baked in in a square cake pan and will try it in a loaf pan next time. Did not use any frosting or peanuts (we are not very "frosty" here in Europe).Thanks for posting.

  1. Wow, so easy and so tasty and refreshing! A nice different take on a cake, very light. I used oil in place of butter, added the zest of the lime I used for juice, and made it gluten free using 1 c rice flour and 1/2 c tapioca starch. I think I forgot to add xanthan gum and the recipe still turned out well!

  2. This was delcious!!!!The lime flavor was very soft but just enough so you could taste it. I made a couple of changes by using vanilla yogurt instead of butter and 1 tbsp bottled lime juice instead of fresh. I baked mine in a 8x8 and it was done after 21 minutes of baking. Thanks for the recipe Chabear01!

FAQs

What is lime cake made of? ›

Start with a white cake mix, but you could also use a yellow cake mix, or even a lemon mix. To that you add your yogurt or sour cream, four eggs, oil and some lime zest and lime juice. If you don't have a zester, I adore my Kitchen IQ Better Zester, it makes zesting citrus super easy – totally recommend it.

What is chikenduza? ›

Chikenduza is a traditional African dessert hailing from Zimbabwe. These candy cakes are made with a combination of flour, butter, vanilla, milk, sugar, yeast, eggs, salt, powdered sugar, and red food coloring.

Can I substitute lime juice for water in a cake mix? ›

You can also replace the water with lemon, orange or lime juice or soda. Use this method with any type of cake mix, but it works best with lemon, yellow and white cake.

What is a cake that makes the mouth water? ›

Pound Cake

This is a mouth-watering cake made using a pound of flour, butter, eggs and sugar. These are traditionally baked in a loaf pan or a Bundt mold. It can be dusted with sugar, glazed or iced to enhance the taste.

Why does Mexican food have lime? ›

Lime is used frequently in Mexican cuisine, most notably in guacamole. Lime juice and zest add a tart, acidic flavor that pairs well with the creamy avocado and spices like cilantro. Lime can also be used to brighten up other dishes like tacos or quesadillas.

Where did key lime cake originate? ›

However, the dessert wasn't created in the Sunshine State, but by the Borden condensed milk company in New York City. Thanks to a wave of advertising by the condensed milk company, the recipe for Magic Lemon Cream Pie most likely made its way to Florida sometime in the 1930s and '40s.

What are the effects of lime cake strain? ›

Description: Lime Cake's cross of Lime Kush and Triangle Mints makes this a great pain-suppressing and calming strain. The lime citrus notes help give this strain the punch it needs to get the best effects with an awesome taste.

What is cake made out of? ›

In the United States, cakes usually are made by one of three methods. In the conventional method the sugar and fat are creamed together, the egg added, and a mixture of flour, salt, and baking powder mixed in alternately with the liquid, beginning and ending with dry ingredients.
