Lemon-lime glazed cake
Cakes
When I was growing up, my grandmother, Nanny, regularly made her Lemon-Lime Refrigerator Sheet Cake. Basically, you cooked a Duncan Hines lemon cake, poked holes in it with a fork once baked, poured liquid lime jello on top and then spread a frosting made of instant lemon pudding, whipped topping mix and cold milk over it. Then your put it in the fridge until nice and cold. The result was a psychedelically-hued green and yellow cake that was cool, creamy and yummy in a simple, not overtly lemony or limey way (you can see a bit of this cake in the photo behind my udpated version). <br />I wanted to modernize that cake because a) I like to use real ingredients with no weird additives and/or fake flavors, and b) I like to cook from scratch. So, I found a lime cake recipe from Bon Appetit 2009 and adapted this cake from that. <br />It's intensely limey, intensely lemony and really pretty scrumptious. I hope you like it!
