Number Of Ingredients 9

4 eggs
2 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 c whole milk
1/4 c butter
2 c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1-2 tsp fresh grated lime zest

Steps:

  • 1. this is an adaptation of a recipe reportedly used by Cake Boss.
  • 2. 1. Beat eggs in large mixing bowl with paddle attachment for 4 minutes. Do not skip this step!
  • 3. 2. Add sugar and lime zest and continue beating for another 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and stir on low until just combined
  • 4. 3. In a separate bowl, sift together dry ingredients. Add to eggs and sugar on low speed until just combined.
  • 5. 4. In a saucepan, heat milk and butter on low heat just until butter is melted. Add to batter, beat just until combined. i like to get this started before i start mixing- that way the eggs dont have to rest before mixing in the rest. also i found adding this slowly Before adding the dry ingredients it mixes up better. the previous recipe had you adding the flour before the milk.
  • 6. 5. Pour into two greased and floured 8" round cake pans.
  • 7. 6. Bake at 325 until the middle springs back when touched, or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let stand in pans for 10 minutes. Then turn out onto wire cooling racks and cool completely.
  • 8. Hint: Cakes are close to being done when you start to smell them.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the cake tough.
  • For a moister cake, bake it in a bundt pan instead of a round pan.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it.
  • If you're making the cake ahead of time, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months. To freeze, wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer bag.
