Lime Layer Cake

 

Lime Layer Cake

I think this cake is officially my new favourite!  I love the flavour of all the limes, and this cake wasn’t too sour or too sweet.  It was the perfect way to end a barbeque on a sunny Saturday evening.  Continue reading for the recipe, nutritional information, and more photos!

In case it isn’t apparent yet, I’ve tried lots of lemon-flavoured desserts!  I really liked that this cake was flavourful without being too overpowering.  Beating the egg whites to soft peaks before folding them into the loaf resulted in a dessert that was lighter than many of the quick breads I’ve previously tried.  Continue reading for the recipe and nutritional information

This Lemon Chiffon Cake is very light and the topping is fresh and mousse-like with a strong citrus flavor.  It would be the perfect dessert at the end of a hot day – especially after a barbque or a heavier meal.  This cake was very popular, and the whole cake disappeared immediately!  At 75 calorier per 1/8th of the cake, this cake is especially great for anyone watching their calorie intake.

This recipe was an adoption from a Apricot & Orange Roulade recipe, as I had some fresh pineapple on hand – it would be great with any type of fruit puree!  At only 70 calories per serving, the cake is light, tropical tasting, and a great way to have some fruit with dessert!  I would suggest unrolling the cake and adding the puree shortly before serving – otherwise the cake will absorb the juice from the puree and make the cake soggy.
