Lime dessert cake

Dive into a tropical delight with our Lime Dessert Cake. Perfect for summer parties or when you want to bring a taste of the tropics to your table, this recipe is easy to follow and sure to impress your guests.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
1 tbsp lime zest
16g
3 eggs
150g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
2. Melt Butter and Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- 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.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and lime zest. Make sure the lime zest is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- 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.
5. Bake:
- 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.
6. Cool:
- 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.
7. Serve:
- Once the cake has cooled, you can serve it plain or dust it with powdered sugar.
8. Enjoy:
- 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.
