Yield Makes 10 TO 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Cake
2 1/4 cups cake flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/3 cup triple sec
2 tablespoons tequila
2 teaspoons grated lime peel
8 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
glaze
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons tequila
4 teaspoons triple sec
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lime peel
Strawberry Compote with Tequila and Lime

Steps:

  • For cake:
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Whisk flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl to blend. Using electric mixer, beat yolks and next 5 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until smooth.
  • Using clean dry beaters, beat egg whites and cream of tartar in another large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, beating until stiff but not dry. Fold 1/3 of whites into batter, then fold in remaining whites. Transfer batter to ungreased 10-inch-diameter angel food cake pan; smooth top.
  • Bake cake until tester inserted near center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Immediately invert center tube of pan onto narrow-necked bottle; cool cake completely in pan.
  • Run long knife around center tube and sides of pan to loosen cake. Using center tube as aid, lift cake out of pan; run knife between cake and pan bottom to loosen. Invert cake onto platter.
  • For glaze:
  • Stir first 5 ingredients in medium bowl until smooth. Spread over top of cake, allowing glaze to drip down sides. Let stand until glaze sets, about 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with cake dome; let stand at room temperature.) Serve cake with compote.

This cake is so versatile. You can serve it with fruit, ice cream, or whipped cream. It's also great on its own.

I'm not a big fan of frosting, so I was happy to find this recipe for a chiffon cake. It's just as delicious without the frosting.

The glaze on this cake is the perfect finishing touch. It adds a bit of sweetness and shine, and it really makes the cake look special.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe, because I'm not a big fan of tequila. But I'm so glad I did! The tequila flavor is very subtle, and it really complements the lime. This cake is now one of my favorites.
