How to Make Lemon Lime Layer Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg substitute until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the icing: In a medium bowl, beat together the lemon zest, lime juice, oil, and milk.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating on low speed until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, frost one layer with 1/2 of the icing.
- Top with the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with the remaining icing.
- Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
