White
says clean and summer to me and add a bit of lime and its states
refreshing too. Why not change an ordinary cake into extraordinary. My
cousin loves the flavor of lime and didn't really want to make a key
lime pie, so I transformed my white box cake into something delicious.
Ingredients:
1 box of white cake mix
1 lime, grated (should give you about 2 tsp.)
1 container of white of frosting
1 tsp. of lime extract
1 bag of coconut flakes
Directions:
Make
the cake as directed on box, but add in 1 tsp. of grated lime. Bake in 2
8 or 9 inch pans. When done, cool thoroughly. Remove frosting from
container and add in lime extract and the remaining grated lime. Blend
well.
Remove cakes from pans and set on cake
plate. Spread thin layer of frosting on top layer and set other cake on
top. Frost whole cake and coat with coconut flakes.
I
have 2 tips. Use a large spatula knife to frost the cake, do not use a
butter knife. For the frosting, this is always a messy process. The top
is easy as you can just sprinkle the flakes directly on top, but the
sides you must place in the palm of your hand a firmly, but gently place
on sides of the cake. I would then place in refrigerator until ready to
serve. A colder cake is always nice in the hotter months.
