Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, let it cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, lightly beat the 3 eggs until combined.
- Add the milk and cooled melted butter to the eggs, mixing well.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and lime zest. Make sure the lime zest is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in a denser cake.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake has cooled, you can serve it plain or dust it with powdered sugar.
- Slice and enjoy your Lime Dessert Cake! This cake pairs perfectly with a cup of tea or coffee.
Tips:
- Make sure to use fresh lime zest for the best flavor.
- If you can't find self-raising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour.
- It's crucial to fold the egg whites gently to keep the batter light and airy.
This Lime Dessert Cake is a fantastic way to end any meal with a burst of tropical flavors. The light and fluffy texture combined with the zesty sweetness make it a crowd-pleaser that’s perfect for any occasion. Enjoy every bite and let this dessert transport you to a sunny paradise.
