Strawberry Lime cake
1 pack Strawberry Cake mix or 1 pack vanilla cake mix(+ 1 cup finely chopped strawberries)
1 can evaporated milk
1/4 cup oil
2 tbsp plain yogurt (optional)
Lime cream: I used this as my filling between the layers and my icing on the outside to give the cake a light yet a rich, tangy taste.
1/2 a can of Sweetened condensed milk
1 cup Heavy whipping cream
a juice of 1 lime (fresh)
lime zest 1/2 tbsp
2 tbsp Powdered sugar (icing sugar)
Fresh Strawberry coulis:
2 cups fresh chopped strawberries
4-5 tbs sugar (more if the strawberries aren’t too sweet)
1/4 cup water
1 tbsp lemon juice
- In a pot, mix the strawberries, water, sugar together and simmer till the strawberries are soft enough to be mashed by a big spoon. Simmer till a thick syrupy consistency forms, turn off the stove and add the lemon juice. Cool for the later use.
Lime cream:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, zest and condensed milk together. Add in the heavy whipping cream and sugar and beat till stiff peaks form. Store in the refrigerator for later use.
Cake:
- Mix all the ingredients in a mixing bowl.
- To make those 6 layers, spread the batter evenly in two rectangular cookie sheet baking pans.
- Bake on 350 F for 10 minutes or until the cake starts coming off the edges of the pan.
- If you’re using the regular cake pans, bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Cool on a cooling rack.
- Cut the cake from each of the pans in 3 rectangular pieces. You will have 6 rectangular pieces total.
- Decorate each layer with strawberry coulis and lime cream till every bit of the cake is covered with icing. Shred some white chocolate on top for a nice final touch and refrigerate for an hour at least for the best taste 🙂
