Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 2

6 limes
2 1/4 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Remove zest from limes in strips with a vegetable peeler and cut away any white pith from zest (pith imparts a bitter flavor). Chop zest (about 1/2 cup), then grind in a food processor with sugar until mixture is pale green with bits of zest still visible.

Tips:

  • Use a Microplane grater to zest the limes, to get the maximum flavor.
  • If you don't have a Microplane grater, you can use a regular grater or a vegetable peeler to remove the zest.
  • The secret to the sugar crust is to use a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar. The brown sugar helps to caramelize the crust and give it a delicious flavor.
  • To make sure the crust is evenly browned, rotate the pan halfway through baking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will help the crust to set and the flavors to develop.
  • Serve the cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of lime glaze.

Conclusion:

This Sugar Crusted Lime Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and tart flavors, along with the crunchy sugar crust, makes this cake a surefire hit. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try!
