LIME CAKE

Lime Cake

This recipe is one of my own, Peter.

Cake:

1 Cup sugar

3 oz. unsalted butter (room temperature)

½ teaspoon salt

2 eggs

1 Cup milk

2 Cups flour

2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder

Zest of one lime

Butter and flour an oversize bread pan. Preheat oven to 350°. Blend together sugar, butter and salt until well mixed. Combine or sift flour and baking powder together. Fold in flour and milk along with zest until the batter is creamy about two minutes.

Bake at 350 for one hour and 5 minutes until the cake is lightly browned. Remove from pan after 10 minutes. Cool completely and frost.

Frosting:

1 or 2 Cups powdered sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

1 egg

Juice of one lime

Combine the sugar, salt, egg, and juice. Beat until smooth. Frosting will be firm in an hour. Trim off excess frosting away from cake. The cake looks and tastes unbelievably good.
