Easy Lime Cake
Description
The cake relies on a cake mix base enriched with yogurt (or sour cream), neutral cooking oil, eggs, finely grated lime peel, and freshly squeezed lime juice. The batter is beaten until combined and then baked at 350°F in a prepared bundt or fluted tube pan until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. After cooling slightly in the pan, the cake is removed to a wire rack to cool completely.
The glaze is made by whisking powdered sugar, melted butter, lime juice, and milk to a pourable consistency. It is spooned over the cooled cake, adding a glossy, citrus-sweet layer. Additional lime peel can be used as garnish. The balance of tangy lime flavor against the sweet glaze complements the moist cake.
Glaze thickness can be adjusted by adding more powdered sugar for thickness or milk and lime juice for thinning, allowing customization of the topping texture.
