A Cake Inspired by Key Lime Pie

[@laurieashley4306]

I made this today for my son’s birthday. He said it was the best cake he ever had. It’s a labor of love but worth it. Thanks for the recipe

[@SugarSpunRun]

You are welcome! I'm so glad everyone enjoyed it so much! Happy birthday to your son! :)

[@SavoryExperimentsCooking]

I can't get enough key lime flavor in my life -- definitely making this one!

[@naysie]

I made this for my Memorial Day family get-together and it was a huge hit! I only just got into baking in the past couple of years, and every one of your recipes that I have tried so far has been so clear and easy to follow, even for a novice like me. Thanks for doing what you do and spreading the joy of baking! :)

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm so glad it was such a hit! I'm glad to hear everything has been so helpful for you. :)

[@danaventura5998]

It always cracks me up to see the lonely forsaken stand mixer in the corner with the sad music, never gets old.

[@stephanierukin7961]

Recipe you made looks delicious! By the way Many blessings to your growing family! 🍼

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you so much! :)

[@gabrielwiechmann3916]

That looks ridiculously good. Please keep it up!

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you! :)

[@j.a.whittler6983]

A actual lime curd between each cake layer would be scrumptious too! Then make an key lime Ermine frosting for the overall cake would be outstanding, as well. ❤😋😋❤

[@SugarSpunRun]

Ooohhhh those sound like great ideas!

[@villagaiac55]

and maybe use cake flour.... but I'll shut up now...

[@RosemaryN]

Beautiful cake! Glad to see the reverse-cream method, I love to use it. Ps. If you put 3-4 big strips of wax paper over-hanging your serving plate,then place the first cake layer, any drips, smears, crumbs etc from the frosting process will be on the wax paper strips and can be pulled away at the end for a spotless serving plate

[@SugarSpunRun]

So smart, thank you for sharing! 💚

[@dianejohanson98]

I prefer a tart cake to an overly sweet one so this would be just right for me. I will definitely be making this! Thank you for sharing.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I really hope you love it! 💚

[@allisonb.8356]

I use Nelly & Joe's Key West Lime Juice in a pound cake & glaze recipe. I'll never squeeze lime juice again. It's a lime flavor bomb. Good for Limeaid too.

[@foxhewko]

Is there any way to "doctor" regular lime juice to work in this lovely-looking cake? I'd love to try it, but I'm in New Zealand and we don't have Key or Tahitian limes here. I made a Key Lime Pie for the neighbors, but it wasn't the same with our limes. Appreciate any ideas you or your fans can offer. Cheers.

Congratulations chef! 😢 I want a grandchild. Just one. Just one. Just one. Did He hear me? TFS. My husband loves your recipes.

[@maryannstewart9051]

Looks good, will try it. Here's a suggestion... Please watch chef Jean Pierre, and learn the proper way to use a zester. The tool on TOP so you can see where you are on the lime or lemon. The channel on the tool is designed to hold the zest, and then you avoid getting the white pith. You definitely are getting too much pith, and it will add bitterness. Of course, it seems many of the TV chefs are not schooled on how to use kitchen tools either. This is one of the best and most useful lessons Chef Jean Pierre has taught me, including mis en place....

[@SugarSpunRun]

Yes to avoiding the pith

[@michelebostwick3242]

Have you tried this with cake flour? I'm always wanting to use cake flour more and hope it would give this cake a lighter texture.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I have not tried it with cake flour, but it could work. My preference here is the all purpose flour. 😊

I made a key lime cake once. It must've been delicious, as it was cooling my son's cat snuck in and ate the whole thing. 😂

Maybe add some Graham cracker crumbs to the cake batter to make it more like key lime pie.

[@jwhite17]

FYI, the key lime pie recipe on the back of that bottle of Nellie and Joe’s Key Lime juice is so easy and good!

Ive never seen key limes here in Australia. How do they compare to regular limes?

[@anderson8601]

So does reverse creaming give a sturdier crumb, more suitable for layered cakes?

[@SugarSpunRun]

It really depends on the cake. It could a little bit sturdier because it's a bit more dense, but I use different methods depending on the cake and desired outcome. :)

Is the Salt measure supposed to be a teaspoon rather than tablespoon? That amount of salt could ruin the cake.

It is a wonderful cake but the amount of sugar is way too high. If you reduce the sugar will the result be the same? Just asking.

The cake won’t be as soft and moist if you reduce the sugar.
