Now THIS was a yummy cake. I was mixing up the white cake, determined to have something really delicious made when I thought about adding some lime to the mix. I searched and found two petrified limes in the door of the fridge and juiced them. I got maybe 4 table spoons of juice out of them and just went ahead with the baking as usual. I then made a glaze. I elected to not stack the cakes this time since I was just experimenting. I poked holes all over the first pan and spooned 1/2 cup of glaze over it to sink into the holes.
Glaze
1 stick butter
1 cup sugar
juice of 4-5 limes.
Normally I'd add some zest, too because it is delicious and super pretty
Boil it. Cool it. Spoon it over the cake.
Very easy and no precision needed.
Cake recipe
After finishing messing with the 2nd layer, I IMMEDIATELY cut it up and put it in the freezer because it was too tempting to eat it all. I would have if I'd been able to. Very yummy. I think that I'll try this again with oranges when winter comes and fresh picked oranges without chemicals are in season here. MMmmm.....
Dang it. I forgot to take a picture. I think this means that I'll just have to make another one!
