How to Make Sugar Crusted Lime Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 3 large egg whites and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon lime zest, and 1/4 cup fresh lime juice.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold in the whipped egg whites until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 27-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon lime zest.
- Once the cake is baked, immediately sprinkle the sugar-lime zest mixture evenly over the top.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
