2
Mix the cake batter

Bake to perfection
30–35 min

Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes.

4
Whisk the lime glaze
3 min

While the cake cools slightly, beat the softened cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. Whisk in the powdered sugar and of lime juice until a thick, pourable glaze forms.

Glaze and garnish
2 min

Pour the glaze evenly over the warm cake, spreading it out to the edges with a spatula. Top generously with freshly grated lime zest. Slice and serve warm or chilled!

Chef’s Tips for Success

  • Key Limes vs. Regular Limes: Key limes are smaller and slightly more aromatic with a tart floral note. If you can’t find fresh Key limes or bottled Key lime juice, standard fresh Persian limes work wonderfully as a substitution!

  • Poke Cake Option: For an even moister cake, poke small holes all over the top of the warm cake with a fork before pouring the glaze so it seeps deep into every bite.

  • Storage: Cover the cooled cake tightly with foil or plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It tastes even better served chilled the next day
