For an extra burst of flavor, add the zest of one lime to the cake batter. If you don't have triple sec, you can substitute with another orange-flavored liqueur, such as Cointreau. The cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Make sure the cake is slightly warm when you pour the glaze over it, so the glaze can melt into the cake and keep the cake moist.
