Trisha Yearwood Key Lime Cake

Step 1

To make the cake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9x12x9-inch cake pan with butter and lightly coat with flour. Alternatively, line the pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, stir the gelatin, granulated sugar, flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda until well-combined.

Step 3

Pour in the oil, orange juice, lemon juice, and vanilla, and beat in the eggs. Stir until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Pour batter into the greased pan.

Step 4

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 5

Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then transfer onto a cooling rack. Poke holes in the cake with a fork.

Step 6

To make the glaze, whisk together the lime juice and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth.

Step 7

Pour the glaze over the warm cake on the rack. Allow the cake to cool completely.

Step 8

Meanwhile, prepare the icing. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and cream cheese at medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in the powdered sugar until the icing is smooth and spreadable.

Step 9

Spread the icing over the cooled cake. Refrigerate before serving. Enjoy!
