Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Large eggs at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (180g) Milk at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (75g) Vegetable oil (any flavorless vegetable oil like canola, corn, sunflower)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) Freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp Lime zest
  • 2 Tbsp (24g) Lime flavored gelatin powder (for the green color)
  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) All-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150g) Granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp (8g) Baking powder*
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) Salt
  • 1 1/3 cups (397g) Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1/3 cup (80g) Freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp (12g) Lime flavored gelatin powder
  • 2 Tbsp (30g) Hot water

Instructions

  1. Line an 8in (20cm) square pan with parchment paper. Set it aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes before baking the cake.
  3. Place the eggs in a large bowl and mix for about 1 minute using a wire whisk.
  4. Add the milk, vegetable oil, lime juice, lime zest, and lime gelatin powder. Whisk until well combined.
  5. Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt over the mixture. Gently whisk until just combined and smooth. Dont overmix the flour.
  6. *Note: Make sure the baking powder is good because it will make the cake rise and become fluffy. To make the test, sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder in a glass of warm water. If it starts to fizz and bubble, the baking powder is active.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool completely at room temperature.
  9. Combine the condensed milk and lime juice in a medium bowl. Whisk until well combined. The acidity of the lime will react with the condensed milk, and the mixture will thicken slightly. Set it aside.
  10. Pour the hot water over the lime gelatin and stir until completely dissolved. Pour the melted gelatin into the condensed milk mixture and stir until well combined.
  11. Spread the mixture over the cake and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
