Lime Cake Recipe
Description
The Lime Cake Recipe starts by mixing a white cake mix with lime gelatin powder and the ingredients specified on the cake box, plus fresh lime juice. The batter is beaten until smooth and baked in a greased 11x16-inch pan at 350°F for about 20-22 minutes. Once cooled, the cake is frosted with a mixture of softened butter and cream cheese creamed together, then combined with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, extra lime juice, lime zest, and a bit of milk to achieve spreading consistency.
The gelatin mix adds subtle lime flavor and a slight texture variation to the cake crumb, while the fresh lime juice boosts freshness. The frosting provides a smooth, tangy complement that balances the sweet cake base. The cake’s texture is tender but sturdy enough for slicing into squares, making it suitable for serving at casual events.
