# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) about 5 minutes before use. Line an 8-inch (20cm) square baking pan with parchment and put it aside.
02 -
Crack the eggs into a big bowl and whisk them for about a minute. Throw in the milk, oil, lime juice, zest, and lime gelatin powder. Stir everything together until it’s smooth.
03 -
Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt straight into the bowl of wet ingredients. Mix it gently until smooth and just combined. Don’t overdo the stirring.
04 -
Pour the mixture into your lined pan, then pop it in the heated oven. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick stuck in comes out clean. Let it cool down to room temp.
05 -
Stir together lime juice and condensed milk in a medium bowl. It’ll get a little thicker as the acid works.
06 -
Dissolve the lime gelatin powder in the hot water by stirring it really well. Mix this into the condensed milk blend until combined.
07 -
Spread the frosting flat across the cooled cake. Put it in the fridge for a couple of hours before cutting and serving.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Store the cake in the fridge and let it sit out for 20 minutes before eating to get the best texture.
