Time 1h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

cooking spray with flour
1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter, softened
3 eggs
1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 limes, zested
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup white sugar
⅓ cup lime juice
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat an 11x7-inch baking pan with cooking spray with flour.
  • Cream sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer. Add eggs, yogurt, and lime juice; mix well. Mix in lime zest. Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt; mix well. Pour into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze by heating sugar and lime juice in a saucepan over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves and becomes a clear liquid, 3 to 5 minutes. Poke holes throughout the top of the cooled cake using the end of a wooden spoon; pour glaze over the cake and let soak in. Continue to let cool.
  • Mix powdered sugar, lime juice, and water together in a bowl for icing and drizzle over the cooled cake.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 cake, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain yogurt
1 1/3 granulated sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup lime juice
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 1/2 by 4 1/4 by 2 1/2-inch loaf pan(or 3 mini pans).
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into 1 bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, 1 cup sugar, the eggs, lime zest, and vanilla. Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. With a rubber spatula, fold the vegetable oil into the batter, making sure it's all incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes (about 35 in the mini pans), or until a cake tester placed in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Meanwhile, cook the 1/3 cup lime juice and remaining 1/3 cup sugar in a small pan until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is clear. Set aside.
  • When the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully place on a baking rack over a sheet pan. While the cake is still warm, pour the lime-sugar mixture over the cake and allow it to soak inches Cool.
  • For the glaze, combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice and pour over the cake when completely cooled.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best texture, make sure the yogurt is at room temperature before mixing it with other ingredients.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can easily make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat yogurt and cream cheese.
  • If you want a denser cake, use less baking powder and baking soda.
  • For a more moist cake, use more buttermilk or sour cream.
  • To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan thoroughly before pouring in the batter.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it.
  • If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought frosting.
  • For a special occasion, decorate the cake with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or sprinkles.
