How to Make Lime Cream Torte
- Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper; grease and flour the parchment.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup fresh lime juice, ½ cup water, and 4 large eggs to the creamed mixture.
- Beat on high speed for 2 minutes.
- Add the remaining ½ cup water and beat until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 15 minutes.
- Invert cakes onto wire racks; carefully remove parchment paper and let cool completely.
- Once cooled, carefully slice each cake layer horizontally to create 4 layers.
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk and ¼ cup fresh lime juice until smooth.
- In a large bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Reserve 1 cup of whipped cream for garnish.
- Gently fold the lime mixture into the remaining whipped cream until just combined.
- Assemble the cake: Place the first cake layer, cut-side up, on a serving plate. Spread with ⅓ of the lime filling.
- Repeat with the remaining cake layers and filling. The top layer should be cut-side down.
- Frost the top of the cake with the reserved whipped cream.
- Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
- Garnish with lime slices before serving.
