How to Make Banana Lime Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Grease an 8-inch round baking pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Stir in the zest of 1 lime and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas with the juice of ½ lime to prevent browning.
- Add the mashed bananas, 1 large egg (lightly beaten), and 2 tablespoons plain yogurt to the well. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in ½ cup golden raisins.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, transfer the cake to a serving plate.
- For the icing: In a small bowl, sift together ¼ cup powdered sugar and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add lime juice (about 1-2 tablespoons), 1 teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency for drizzling.
- Stir in the zest of ¼ lime.
- Drizzle icing over the cake as desired.
