I made your TLC for my family's Christmas Day celebration. The kids were
absolutely mad for it! I called it "Grinch cake" because of the color,
and sprinkled holiday red and frosty white sparkling sugars on it to make
it look a bit more festive hopefully without gilding the ranuncula :-) It
looked pretty and Grinchy green, and the kids were just delighted. The
adult kids too. It is a very tasty cake! Thanks for this wonderful
recipe.
Tropical Lime Cake (recipe from Wayne in Phoenix, originally (?) from Robb
Dabbs on Allrecipes.com)
1 box lemon cake mix
1 (3 oz) box lime-flavored gelatin mix
5 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
2 cups confectioners' sugar
Preheat oven to350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13
inch pan.
In a large bowl, stir together the cake mix (Tammy's note: I sifted it)
and lime flavored gelatin. Combine eggs, oil and orange juice in a
blender and blend for at least 5 minutes. Gradually add the blended
ingredients to the dry mixture. Beat for 5 minutes using electric mixer.
Pour into the prepared pan.
Bake for 40-45 minutes in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted
comes out clean. When the cake comes out of the oven, [censored] holes all
over it using a fork.
To make the glaze, combine the lime juice and confectioners sugar
(Tammy's note: I sifted this too!) in a small bowl. Beat until smooth.
Pour over the hot cake. This will soak into the cake.
Thanks again, Wayne!
