→ Lime Frosting

12 -
12g lime gelatin powder
13 -
80g lime juice, fresh
14 -
397g sweetened condensed milk
# Instructions:
01 -
Use parchment paper to line an 8-inch (20cm) square pan. When you're 5 minutes away from mixing, set your oven to 180°C (350°F).
02 -
Grab a large bowl, and whisk your eggs for a solid minute. Add in zest, lime juice, gelatin, vegetable oil, and milk. Mix everything until smooth.
03 -
Sift the sugar, salt, flour, and baking powder right on top of the wet ingredients. Stir with care until the texture is smooth—don't overdo it!
04 -
Pour batter into your prepped pan. Bake for 30 minutes, or check doneness with a toothpick—it should come out clean. Let it cool naturally.
05 -
Stir sweetened condensed milk with fresh lime juice in a medium bowl. It'll start to thicken while you mix.
06 -
Dissolve the gelatin powder entirely by mixing it with the hot water. Blend this into the sweetened condensed milk and lime mixture.
07 -
Spread the frosting evenly over the completely cooled cake. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before digging in.
# Notes:
01 -
Keep leftovers in the fridge, but take them out 20 minutes ahead of serving for better texture.
