Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg
- Zest of 2 limes
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, egg, lime zest, and lime juice. Mix well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the boiling water and sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
- Carefully pour the sugar mixture over the batter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Notes
- Ensure to zest the limes carefully, avoiding the bitter white pith, to capture the vibrant citrus flavor.
- Be cautious not to overmix the batter to maintain a light and fluffy texture in the cake layer.
- Test the doneness of the cake by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding layer to set.
- Garnish with fresh lime slices or zest for an extra pop of color and flavor before serving.
