Lime desserts have always been a favorite of mine. The combination of sweet and tart is truly amazing and can be used in so many different ways. We use lime in a lot of our non-alcoholic beverage drinks and many desserts. One of my favorites is the Mojito Cupcakes I made a couple of years ago.
What Are Key Limes?
For this recipe, I was provided key limes in my box of produce from Melissa's produce.
Key lime is a hybrid citrus fruit that is green when picked and yellow when ripe. When you compare a regular lime to key lime, there are some differences. For one, key limes are smaller, more acidic, and have a stronger citrus aroma. The juice is also sweeter than regular limes. That is why they usually use key limes in more dessert-type dishes.
Other sponsors I used in this recipe are Dixie Crystals Sugar. The powdered sugar glaze on top is what really sets this cake over the top.
This cake is moist and made from scratch which is the perfect combination of sweet and tart.
