Question: When you put the cake back in the bundt pan and poke the holes in it and then glaze - Is the glaze on the bottom of the cake when taken back out of the pan and onto a cake plate?  Thanks


By Kim Newsom on 26 05 2008

HI Sheila. I’ve made the cake myself several times already, so I thought I’d answer your question. The “glaze” is really more for taste than for looks. You pour it while the cake is in the pan (after you’ve taken it out, cleaned the pan, etc.), so that it can ooze down into the cake and make it even more moist and flavorful.

However, the second time I made it, I decided to reserve a little of the glaze to pour on top once I moved the cake over to my plate. Then I sprinkled powdered sugar on top. Gorgeous and delicious!

Hope this helps!

I have made this cake 6 times this summer.  Everyone loves it and always wants the recipe.  I never have to worry about leftovers.  Thanks for a wonderful recipe!!!

I had this recipe at a family reunion on Labor day and asked for the recipe. The lady told me where she got it, & that she would have to snail mail it to me cause she isn’t on the net.  so I told her I could probably get it online. I do not get the Home & Farm magazine but my sister does and has given it to me in the past. I came online so as to print it out.
I plan to make this for my Fifty Forward covered dish in Oct.. It is truly delicious.


By Diane on 27 12 2008

I made this cake for a church social. What a great cake! Moist and delicious! It was a big hit with everyone.


By Anne on 17 03 2009

I made the cake for my Fifty-Forward Potluck last Sept. and every crumb was eaten and the recipe requested.  I am making it today for our St. Patricks day potluck… I substituted about a TBS. of the water w/green food color and am making a frosting w/ white chocolate and creme de menthe flavoring to drizzle over the finished product as an additional “Irish” imbellishment.

I am taking copies of the recipe with me, because we are a great recipe exchange group.
Thanks again for this GREAT recipe site!!


By Joy Shell on 04 02 2010

This is the best cake ever. The only cake I have ever made that every crumb is eaten! It is a very simple cake to make. I don’t know how many copies I have given out of this recipe.

Do you use fresh squeezed lime juice or bottled juice?


By Jessy Yancey on 31 03 2010

You can use either fresh or bottled. When we made it, we used fresh limes in the cake and to garnish, but I think if you don’t have fresh limes available, bottled is a fine substitute.

Thanks!
