Ingredients
1 Lime-zested
2 cups Flour Self-Raising
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Buttermilk
3 Eggs-separated
0.75 cup Sugar
0.25 cup Water
2 Lime-juiced
1 cup Butter
Directions
- Preheat oven 180 degrees.
- Mix cream, butter, and 1 cup of sugar.
- Beat in 3 yolks. Mix in lime zest.
- Add 1 cup flour and 1/2 cup buttermilk and mix.
- Repeat with remaining 1 cup flour and 1/2 cup buttermilk, and mix.
- Beat egg whites till they peak and fold into cake mix.
- Pour in baking tin. Bake for 40 minutes, or until cooked through.
- When the cake is nearly done, put all syrup ingredients into a saucepan and stir until boiling.
- While cake is still hot, and before you take it out of the tin, slowly pour the hot syrup over it – the hot cake will soak it up like a sponge.
