How to make it
- Key Lime Glaze
- ½ box confectioner's sugar
- Juice of key limes (or Meyer lemons)
- In a bowl mix enough lime juice with the confectioner's sugar to make a thin glaze. It should look like skim milk when it comes off the fork, translucent.
- While the cake is still warm, poke holes in the cake with a tooth pick or kebab skewer. Spoon glaze over cake, make sure to pour it into the holes frequently.
- Allow cake to cool and the glaze to harden before wrapping it.
