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. 😉

- 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。
