Categories     dessert

Time 4h25m

Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the molds
3/4 cup fine graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter, melted
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons freshly grated lime zest
1/4 cup Key lime juice (from about 13 small Key limes or 2 large regular limes)
1 heaping tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup thawed frozen raspberries
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Spray the bottoms of 24 cupcake-size silicon molds with cooking spray (or two 12-cup muffin pans) and place them on a baking sheet.
  • To make the crust, in a small mixing bowl, stir together the crumbs, sugar and melted butter, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of each mold. Set aside.
  • For the filling: Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the sugar, lime zest, lime juice, cornstarch and vanilla and beat until smooth.
  • Pour the filling into the prepared crusts. Bake until the tops are lightly brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • For the sauce: Meanwhile, to make the sauce, process the raspberries, sugar and lime zest in a food processor or blender until smooth. Chill for at least 1 hour before drizzling over the cheesecake and serving.

TRISHA YEARWOOD'S KEY LIME CAKE RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Provided by Pattywak

Number Of Ingredients 19

PIE:
1 package lime-flavored gelatin, 3 ounces
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
5 large eggs, slightly beaten
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
3/4 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup Key lime juice (from about 25 small Key limes or 4 large regular limes)
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
ICING:
1/2 cup butter, room temperature, 1 stick
1 package cream cheese, room temperature, 8 ounces
1 box confectioners' sugar, 1 pound
I used lime zest & lime juice in my icing

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour three 9-inch-round cake pans. In a large mixing bowl, mix the gelatin, sugar, flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir to mix well. Add the eggs, oil, orange juice, lemon juice, and vanilla. Divide the batter evenly among the 3 pans and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Test for doneness by lightly touching the tops of the layers or inserting a toothpick. Cool the layers in the pans for 5 minutes, then turn them out onto racks. While the layers are still hot, mix the lime juice and confectioners' sugar and pour it over the layers on the racks. You can pierce the layers with a fork to allow the glaze to soak in better. Allow the layers to cool completely as you prepare the icing. Note: The cream cheese icing is optional. This cake is beautiful and tastes great with just the glaze poured over it.

Categories     dessert

Time 3h45m

Yield 46 cake pops

Number Of Ingredients 19

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
One 3-ounce package lime-flavored gelatin
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup orange juice
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice plus 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 large eggs, slightly beaten
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons Key lime juice (or regular lime juice)
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 1/2 pounds white candy melting wafers
1 pound bittersweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons coconut oil

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-12-by-2-inch cake pan with parchment, then grease and flour.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the gelatin, granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the orange juice, vegetable oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla and eggs. Mix well until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • For the frosting: Beat the butter and cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth, then beat in the lime juice. Beat in the confectioners' sugar until the mixture is smooth and easy to spread.
  • To form the cake pops: Break up the cake into small pieces and place in a bowl. Add the frosting and mix very well with your hands to completely distribute the frosting. Line 2 small baking pans with parchment. Roll the cake mixture into about 46 tight balls, a little smaller than Ping-Pong balls, arranging them on the prepared baking pans. Freeze the balls on the pans until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • For the coating: Put about 1/4 cup of the candy melting wafers in a small-microwave safe bowl and melt according to package directions. Dip the tip of 6-inch treat sticks in the melted candy and then insert one into each cake ball. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Melt the rest of the candy melting wafers in a large bowl. Dip the balls in the candy to coat completely, letting the excess drip off; stick the pops into two 12-by-6-inch Styrofoam block. Freeze or refrigerate the pops until set.
  • Put the chocolate and coconut oil in a wide, shallow microwave-safe bowl and microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted. Dip one side of the cake balls into the chocolate so that they are half white and half black. Return to the Styrofoam blocks and freeze or refrigerate until set.

Tips:

  • To achieve a smooth and lump-free batter, start by whisking together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl before gradually adding them to the wet ingredients.
  • Use fresh key limes for the best flavor. If you can't find key limes, you can use regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Trisha Yearwood's Key Lime Cake is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the key lime frosting is tart and tangy. With its bright green color and zesty flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
