Cake Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup lime juice (preferably key lime juice)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Glaze Ingredients
- 1/4 cup raspberries
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- 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 during baking.
- Prepare Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, lime juice, vegetable oil, eggs, and sour cream. Stir thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, well-combined batter.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
- Make Raspberry Glaze: While the cake bakes, blend fresh raspberries with powdered sugar until you get a smooth glaze consistency, perfect for topping the cake.
- Cool and Glaze: Once the cake is fully cooled, pour the raspberry glaze evenly over the top, letting it gently drip down the sides for a beautiful finish.
- Serve: Slice the cake and serve immediately to enjoy the full burst of tangy and sweet flavors.
Notes
- For best flavor, use freshly squeezed key lime juice.
- Ensure the cake is completely cooled before adding the raspberry glaze to prevent it from melting.
- You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- Gently strain the raspberry glaze if you prefer a seedless topping.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate.
