For a more intense lime flavor, add the zest of 1 lime to the batter. To prevent the peanuts from sinking to the bottom, toss them lightly in flour before sprinkling them on top of the cake. This cake is best enjoyed within 2-3 days of baking, stored in an airtight container at room temperature. Try using brown butter for a nutty flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and flour an 8x8-inch baking pan to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and softened butter until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer.
03
StepGradually beat in the beaten eggs and lime juice until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and slightly fragrant. (2 minutes)
04
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)
05
StepPour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. (1 minute)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (25-30 minutes)
07
StepRemove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)
08
StepOnce cooled, garnish with chopped roasted peanuts for added flavor and texture. Slice and serve!

Feb 24, 2025My cake came out a little dry. Next time, I'll try adding a tablespoon of milk to the batter.
