Key Lime Cake ll
Step 4: Glaze and Glitz ✨ (As Pictured in )
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and fresh Key lime juice until a thick, glossy, yet pourable glaze forms.
- Assemble: Spoon a generous layer of the glossy lime glaze over the top of each cooled cupcake.
- The Finishing Touches: Immediately sprinkle a cloud of shredded coconut into the wet glaze. To complete the picture-perfect look from slice a fresh Key lime wheel and stand it upright in the center of the coconut layer!
💡 Baker’s Success Tips
- Key Limes vs. Regular Limes: Key limes are smaller, more aromatic, and pack a much more floral, intensely tart punch than standard Persian limes. If you can’t find fresh Key limes at your local grocery store, bottled 100% Key lime juice works beautifully too! 🍋
- Love Cream Cheese? If you prefer a richer frosting over the rustic glaze style shown in , swap the glaze for a velvety cream cheese frosting spiked with extra lime zest! 🧀🧁
