2 small sp. Of lime zest, If desired.

TO MAKE THE CAKE, FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW:

Step 1:

I began by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F, and I greased and floured an appropriate size pan.

Step 2:

Then, In a large mixing bowl, I combined the lime-flavored gelatin, with the granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt, and I stir to mix well.

Step 3:

After that, I added the canola oil, one cup Of orange juice, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and eggs, and I mixed thoroughly to combine.

Step 4:

For baking, I poured the batter evenly into the prepared pan, spread it well, and baked for approximately 35 to 40 minutes.

Step 5:

Previously, I used to test for doneness by touching the top and inserting a toothpick.

Step 6:

When it was done, I cooled the cake in the pan for 5 minutes in the center of the oven.

THIS HOW TO MAKE THE GLAZE:

Step 1:

When the cake cooled, I mixed the lime juice with the confectioners’ sugar in a small bowl. I made holes in the cake by poking it with a fork to allow the previously produced glaze to soak into the cake deeper for easier frosting.

Step 2:

And then I completely allow the cake to cool while I prepared the icing.

THIS IS HOW I MADE THE FLAVORED LIME ICING:

Step 1:

I mixed the butter and cream cheese together, then I beat in the icing sugar and lime juice using a mixer until it was creamy and easy to spread.

Step 2:

Well, afterward I spread the icing over the cake to coat the top and sides of the cake.
