Key lime cake is an American dessert made of the mix ingredients such as eggs, key lime juice, butter, flour, baking powder and baking soda also added with grated lemon rind to make strengthen the flavor.
This cake especially popular during summer and good to be served in special occasions such as birthday party, family gathering or enjoy as dessert.
The combination of batter and the key lime juice produce a good taste to the cake. When you bite the cake you will know the how pleasure of the cake is. And I think the best thing to describe the cake is when you enjoy them either with a cup of tea or coffee. The moist, dense and great texture of the cake will make you cannot stop and wanted it more and more. Moreover the glaze that placed on the top of the cake will make you cannot wait to get the cake soon.
And today I’m going to use a bundt pan to make my key lime cake. But if you are having trouble to get the bundt pan, don’t worry you can just use the regular pan or whatever pan you prefer. This cake is really easy to make and the ingredients are also very familiar so you just need to go to the market and get everything you need and listen carefully what the recipe are and just started to cook.
All you need to do to make the cake is just mixing the dry ingredients first, such as flour and baking powder and whisk it together until they are combined well and set the bowl aside. Next, in a bowl of your stand or hand mixer, cream together the butter and shortening over medium speed until all is creamy then gradually add the sugar, beating at medium speed until it turns light and fluffy. Once you have done, add the eggs and beating it just until blended well.
Once you have a good consistency of your egg mixture, now time to pour the dry ingredient and beat it over low speed and alternately add the milk and beat it again until all the flour and milk mixed together. Add the lime juice, lime zest and vanilla extract beat again until everything is well combined. While you beat the batter after adding the lemon zest and vanilla extract, you may see the batter start curdling, but don’t worry, just keep beating it until smooth and nice.
Once you have done with the batter, now time to pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smooth the top of the batter using a spatula or wooden spoon to flatten the surface and bake the cake just until it’s cooked well. Once your cake is done, remove it from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan. While your cake is on process to cool down, go ahead and make the glaze.
In a large measuring cup add powdered sugar, key lime juice and vanilla extract and start to whisk it together until smooth and you have a good consistency. Then invert the cake to a serving plate and pour the glaze all over the top of the cake and let the glaze drip down to the sides. Before serving, make sure to place the cake on the fridge to set the cake. And you are ready to serve your key lime pound cake.
That’s quite easy, isn’t it? Once you have all the ingredients all you need to do is just go to the kitchen and let’s go cooking. Just believe me this going to be so much easy and fun. So what are we waiting for? Let’s cook, shall we?
