• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tbsp lime zest

    • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
    • 1/4 cup strawberry purée
    • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cake Batter:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
    • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

    • Mix in lime juice, milk, and strawberry purée until smooth.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Bake the Cake:
    • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
    • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
    • Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the Strawberry-Cream Cheese Frosting:
    • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
    • Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until fluffy.
    • Stir in strawberry purée, vanilla extract, and lime zest (if using).
  • Assemble the Cake:
    • Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of frosting on top.
    • Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake evenly.
  • Serve:
    • Garnish with fresh strawberries and lime slices if desired.
    • Slice and enjoy this Strawberry Limeade Cake with its sweet and tangy flavors!

Notes

  • For an added touch, garnish with lime zest or candied lime slices.
