(Nutrition information is calculated using an ingredient database and should be considered an estimate.)
Instructions
Spoon the mixture into a greased and base lined 20cm deep round cake tin.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C, 160°C fan oven, Gas 4 for 40-50 minutes or until cooked.
Turn out on to a wire tray.
Put the lime juice and sugar in a saucepan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved.
Bring to the boil and simmer for 3-4 mins until slightly reduced and syrupy.
Whilst cake is warm, make a few deep holes with a skewer and drizzle the syrup over so that it soaks into the cake.
Variations: The limes can be replaced by lemons or one large orange.
Tip: Instead of 1 cake, bake 12-14 mini cakes and serve with scoops of (lemon) ice cream.
