Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Raspberry Glaze

  • 1/4 cup raspberries
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.
  2. Prepare Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, lime juice, vegetable oil, eggs, and sour cream. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Bake the Cake: Pour the cake batter into the greased pan, spreading evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully baked.
  4. Make Raspberry Glaze: While the cake bakes, prepare the glaze by blending the fresh raspberries with powdered sugar until the mixture becomes smooth and pourable.
  5. Cool and Glaze: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, pour the raspberry glaze evenly over the top of the cake, letting it gently drip down the sides for a beautiful finish.
  6. Serve: Slice the cake into 8 servings and enjoy the delightful combination of zesty key lime and sweet raspberry flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime juice for the best key lime flavor.
  • Ensure the cake is fully cooled before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off.
  • If raspberries are not in season, frozen can be used but thaw and drain excess liquid before blending.
  • To make the cake dairy-free, substitute sour cream with a non-dairy alternative.
  • For a more intense glaze, increase raspberries to 1/2 cup and adjust powdered sugar accordingly.
