Thermo Jo - This is scrumptious! Big thumbs Up!!! 5/5
cookie - We really enjoyed this. I peeled my lime before I used it as the skin was a bit yuk.
hopefulcook - It is my new favourite cake... love the flavour and super impressive for friends. I don't have a ring tin, so I have done it as a loaf, I keep forgetting to time it, but it is something like 45 plus 5 to 10 more depending on the oven. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Denzelmum - I peeled my lime as cookie did. DS had one bite and said enough. Grown ups enjoyed this cake a lot. Took some to work and was a hit.
Nikkit - MmmmmmMmmmmmMmmmmm this cake is a ripper!
I ran out of sour cream so did about half sour cream and half natural yoghurt and cut the sugar in half and it is so yummy!
It keeps for about a week, if it doesn't get eaten of course!
JuliaC83 - Delicious!! Will definitely make again.
Thermobudgie - Thank you for this beautiful recipe! It is now my number 1. This is definitely a cake for grown ups as it has bitterness from the lime (which I love!!!). I also cut down the sugar and used natural yoghurt as I didn't have any sour cream. I have given away 3 of these cakes now and everyone as asked for the recipe.
goldfish - Made this the other night.. Just beautiful!! Love the taste ..... Also used yogurt instead of sour cream .... A firm favourite!
courton - Unlike everyone else who seems to like the cake, I felt the cake was a bit too bitter and leaves an aftertaste in your mouth. I skinned the seedless lime and followed instructions to the t. Am about to read the last rites before burying it in the bin! I love citrus and lime taste. I have a feeling the lime which was quite big overwhelmed the taste of everything else.
jeninwa - this was demolished in minutes, we all loved it. Had people asking for the recipe. I used the whole lime, guess it comes down to taste - a friend of mine hates anything with citrus in it, me the more the better.
Bedlam - I have made this heaps ( budget buster date and Lime, similar). I usually leave my limes on the tree until
I need them, the skin gets thin and less tart. Last time I baked this the lime was not as ripe and it was a more tart taste. I also use the whole lime minus seeds. I think the taste varies depending on how tart the lime. I Love it but Not my children.
hopefulcook - I took this cake as dessert to a lunch - added lime cream cheese icing and toasted coconut flakes. Looked great (loaf) with icing on top. Delicious!

Wow! Cookie this looks absolutely gorgeous. :)
-
Thank you. It has a lovely taste, not at all what you would expect.
-
My Mum has an abundance of limes so after searching came across this recipe. It is my new favourite cake... love the flavour and super impressive for friends. I don't have a ring tin, so I have done it as a loaf, I keep forgetting to time it, but it is something like 45 plus 5 to 10 more depending on the oven. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
-
I have all ingredients - baking this now. I follow Cookies note to peel the lime.

DS had one bite and said enough. Grown up enjoyed this cake a lot. Took some to work and was a hit.

I ran out of sour cream so did about half sour cream and half natural yoghurt and cut the sugar in half and it is so yummy!
It keeps for about a week, if it doesn't get eaten of course!
And the best bit...my spotty horse does not like it - so I don't have to share with him! ;D ;D
-
looks yummy, will have to try :D
-
The flavour is quite amazing.
I'm glad spotty horse doesn't like it Nikkit, as you said all the more for you. ;D ;D ;D
-
Delicious!!
Will definitely make again :)
-
Oh this looks and sounds yummy. Will be trying this one sometime this week.

On my list to make today, no sour cream but have yoghurt. Need something to take for morning tea on Monday do you think it would still be fresh enough. As today's the only chance to make something.
-
Make it today, wrap tightly in cling wrap Uniced and uncut and it should be fine on Monday. If you are really worried, chuck it in the freezer and pull out on Sunday night

Courton - I didn't skin the lime - just put the whole thing in . . .Sorry to hear it wasn't successful for you . . .

I made this last weekend, well I actually made two the first one I forgot to put the brown sugar in and it came out like a rock, the second i took to a bbq/ bonfire night and it was demolished in minutes we all loved it. Had people asking for the recipe. I used the whole lime, guess it comes down to taste a friend of mine hates anything with citrus in it, me the more the better.

-
It is usually a lovely blend of caramel( from the brown sugar) date and lime,unusual and delicious
-
I usually skin my lime for this cake. I'm not fond of the bitter taste citrus skin can leave.
-
Made this tonight to take to a farewell afternoon tea at school tomorrow... Love this cake!! Might give a light dusting of icing sugar beforehand...

Goldfish - love that tin you have baked the cake in :)
A friend of mine makes this cake into muffins. That way she can freeze them and pull one out every day for her morning tea.
I might add she is not a cook - or wasn't until her man gave her a TM for Valentines Day. He was really worried and thought he was in trouble for giving her something so 'un-romantic'. But he earned major brownie points and she is now a "goddess in the kitchen"!
-
GF I love the cake and tin too.
Good news about your goddess in the kitchen friend Nikkit. She can make lots of romantic dinners.
