Glazed Lime Cake

"This is a very refreshing cake, perfect for summer! I did not have self-rising flour but you can make your own - for one cup of all purpose flour add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt.You can also substitute any citrus for the lime. I have used 2 limes and one lemon and used zest in the cake mix to give it even more flavor. If you like alot of glaze, double it. This is adapted from Bon Appetit, January, 2009. Hope you enjoy!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>Hello all, being from California, I can honestly say I am a foodie. You can walk by construction workers here and hear them saying things like, So I used some fresh garlic and olive oil, then threw the rest into the pan to sautee. LOL I love all kinds of food, and trying to eat healthier as I get older, but still indulge in the occasional deep-fried food or sweet. <br />I LOVE this site! I have 3 or 4 other food sites such as Epicurious and Food Network, but I always come back here! The ease and all of the features just can't be beat. <br />Thanks Zaar and I look forward to participating more.</p>
