Lime Cake 青柠蛋糕
I’ve been looking for a simple cake recipe recently and I was sure glad to see Joyce post’s of her Glazed Lime Cake on her blog last week. After reading Joyce’s good remark of this tangy lime cake, I too wanted to bake one but with slight adjustment. I’ve changed the baking pan from a square one to a bundt pan and since I’ve some black chia seeds in my pantry, I added them in. The cake is not too sweet and a little crumbly but the lime syrup makes the cake moist, soft and delicious. Thank you Joyce for sharing this keeper recipe. 😉
- 180g Butter, room temperature
- 60g Powdered sugar (icing sugar, sifted)
- 2 Large eggs (70g each)
- 50g Milk
- 180g Self-raising flour
- 2½ tbsps Black chia seeds (optional)
- zest from 1 lime
- 3 large Limes
- 3 tbsps Sugar
- Preheat the oven to 175C. Butter and flour 8x8x2 inch (lined) baking pan. (I used a medium size bundt pan and sprayed pan with cooking spray).
- Sift self-raising flour into a bowl and mix with black chia seeds and lime zest, set aside.
- Using electric mixer, beat butter and icing sugar until well blended. Beat in eggs one at a time. Beat in milk, mix well. Add in flour mixer and fold well with a rubber spatula.
- Transfer batter to prepared pan; smooth top.
- Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 33 minutes.
- Meanwhile, finely grate enough lime peel to measure 1 tablespoon. Halve limes, squeeze enough juice to measure 3 tablespoon. Stir lime peel, lime juice and 3 tablespoon sugar in a small bowl until sugar dissolves. Set lime syrup aside.
- Once cake is done, remove from oven and let it stay in cake pan for 5 minutes. Remove cake and immediately brush lime syrup generously on the surface.
- Cool cake completely and serve.
- 180个 牛油,温室
- 60克 糖粉, 过筛
- 2个 全蛋,一个70克
- 50克 牛奶
- 180克 自发面粉
- 2.5汤匙 黑奇异籽 (可不放)
- 1粒 青柠檬皮屑
- 3大粒 青柠檬
- 3汤匙 细糖
- 预热烤箱175度。准备一个8寸四方形烤盘,底部铺纸,抹油。(我是用了一个中型bundt锅,抹油)。
- 过筛自发面粉到一个大碗中,加入黑奇异籽和青柠檬皮屑混合均匀。
- 用电动搅拌器把牛油和糖粉搅打均匀。加入鸡蛋,一个一个的加,跟着慢慢倒入牛奶。倒入面粉,用朔胶刮刀翻拌均匀即可。
- 将面糊倒入烤盘,抹平表层。
- 送入烤箱烘烤约33分钟或牙签插入面包内部,拔出后没有粘糊,就表示熟了。
- 趁着蛋糕在烤着,着手准备糖浆。细磨青柠檬皮屑约1汤匙。挤出3汤匙的青柠檬汁和细糖,青柠檬屑混合均匀至糖溶化,备用。
- 让蛋糕连模待凉5分钟后脱模,马上涂上大量的糖浆在蛋糕的表层上,让蛋糕体吸收糖浆。
- 然后等蛋糕彻底冷却后即可切片享用。
Hi Ann, may I know what is Blabk Chia Seed. Thank you.Regards; Siti
Hi Siti, You can read here about black chia seeds. If you don't have chia seeds, you can use poppy seeds (if you're outside S'pore) or black sesame seeds too. http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/truth-about-chia
I love key limes…I love your cake! Bookmarked!
I can see that this cake is moist…. must be yummy with the lime glaze. Bookmarked!
Lovely cake, it would make a nice accompaniment with my afternoon coffee. I found you through Kitchen Flavours.

Hi Ann, adding lime syrup to the cake is definitely refreshing … like the tangy sweet sourish taste !
Ann, I love anything with lime & lemon. And yours just fantastic.Hope you're having a great week ahead dear.Kristy
I've had a lot of lemon cakes but never a lime cake. What a great way to flavor this cake and the idea of adding the chia seeds was quite clever!
以青柠来做蛋糕, 可以吃多多又可以帮忙洗掉油份! 哈哈
One slice for me please.. Perfect fresh taste for hot days.
What a beautiful creation, Ann! I love the add of chia seeds here.
Yummy! Thanks for sharing 🙂 this cake definitely goes on my list 😀
Hi Ann! This cake must surely be so delicious with the sweet and tangy lime syrup. It is visually stunning too!
第一次看过用青柠檬的,好特别哦,想必味道一定很清香。
用青柠来做蛋糕,肯定很清新的感觉我先泡杯咖啡,我们一起享用,ok吗?哈哈哈哈
Hi Ann,I thought the black seeds were poppy seeds, but then I know that you can't use them in S'pore! Haha! A great idea to use chia seeds instead. Your cake looks lovely baked in a bundt pan. Yes, this recipe is indeed a keeper! I'm wishing that I have a few slices to enjoy right now! Thanks for the mention!
哇! 加了lime蛋糕口感应该很清新吧! 好吃, 好吃!
Hi Ann I was wondering what the black little bits were. Chia seeds – great idea!!! I love tangy anything so I am really eyeing this cake!
