Time 1h5m

Yield 9 mini-loaves

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) angel food cake mix
1 teaspoon lime zest
1/2 cup lime juice
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup lime juice
1/2 teaspoon lime zest
2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons lime juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Beat the cake ingredients together for three minutes. Pour into 9 mini-loaf pans (or you could use a large Bundt pan) sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake 25 min (mini loaf pans) or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans on a wire rack.
  • In a small saucepan, stir together the syrup ingredients over medium low heat.
  • Remove the cakes from the pan and place upside down on the wire rack with a pan underneath to catch any syrup. Poke holes in the bottoms with a skewer and drizzle on the syrup.
  • Cool cakes completely and turn right-side up.
  • Stir together the glaze ingredients and glaze cakes when completely cooled. Gift wrap in plastic and tie with a bow or store in an air-tight container.

These cakes were a bit too dense for my taste, but they were still enjoyable. I think next time I would cream the butter and sugar together for longer to make the batter lighter and fluffier.

I had some trouble getting the cakes to bake evenly, but they still tasted delicious. I think I might try lowering the oven temperature next time to prevent them from browning too quickly.

These cakes were a bit too tangy for my taste, but they were still enjoyable. I think next time I would use less lime juice in the batter and frosting.

I love the unique flavor of these cakes! The lime and tea flavors are perfectly balanced and the frosting is the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making these again.

These cakes were a bit dry, but the flavor was still good. I think I might try adding some extra butter or oil to the batter next time to make them more moist.

I had some trouble getting the cakes to rise properly, but they still tasted delicious. I think I might have overmixed the batter, so I'll be careful to avoid that next time.
