Storage

This lime drizzle cake keeps well in a sealed container for 3 - 4 days.

Fridge or Counter top?

It is best left out on the counter/in a store cupboard in a sealed air tight container rather then in the fridge.

Can I Make This Lime Drizzle Cake Ahead?

I think it is best to make and serve Lime Drizzle Cakes on the day of serving However it can be made a day in advance if needed. 

Can it be frozen?

Yes, this cake freezes well in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Once the cake has cooled, wrap it well and place in an airtight container making sure the tub is not too large. Once thawed, consume within a day. The cake can be frozen in slices or as a whole.

How to defrost

To defrost, unwrap and simply leave in the fridge on a plate overnight.

Can I use Icing Sugar instead of Caster Sugar?

Yes and No. You can in the drizzle but not in the batter.

Can I use Granulated Sugar instead of Caster Sugar?

Yes you can. If you want to use Caster Sugar but don't have any, put granulated sugar into a blender and pulse till it looks finer but keep an eye on it. If you take it too far, it will become icing sugar!

Can I make this in a larger quantity or halve it?

Yes you can, just adjust the quantity in the recipe card below to update the ingredient amounts. However if you adjust tin size or the amount of batter, the cooking time also changes so keep an eye on it.

Can I make these into cupcakes?

I haven't tried this myself but I imagine it would work. You should get 6 - 8 cupcakes and cooking time would probably be around 10 - 12 minutes.

How do I know if it is cooked?

The cake will look golden brown. When you touch it with your finger, it should bounce back. A skewer inserted into the middle will come out clean.

Variations?

Lime and Coconut are besties. Scatter over some dessicated coconut at the end. Or try Passion Fruit!
