After many tries at a decent Gluten Free Dairy Free Key Lime Pie, I decided to try a cake. I’m better at cake. I made it two ways, from the box and from scratch. For time purposes sake, I’m gonna give you the box recipe and you will thank me later. I’m not a fruity, tart dessert person but this is one of my favorite new deserts.

Ingredients
-
CAKE:
-
gluten free yellow cake mix (King Arthur has a good one)
-
Organic vanilla pudding (1 box)
-
4 eggs
-
3/4 cup water
-
3/4 cup vegetable oil
-
1/4 baking soda
-
LIME SYRUP:
-
1/2 cup lime juice
-
1/3 coconut sugar
-
Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting with a hint of Lime:
-
1/2 cup of vegan butter (1 stick)
-
8oz plant based cream cheese
-
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
-
1/2 tsp of vanilla
-
1 tablespoon of lime juice
Directions
CAKE:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix all of your ingredients in a bowl until well combined.
Bake for 55 minutes to an hour.
LIME SYRUP:
Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, heat lime juice and sugar until the coconut sugar dissolves.
When the cake is out of the oven. Let it cool for at least 15 minutes.
Flip cake onto tray and then with a toothpick poke holes into the top of the cake. Go crazy.
Once holes are poked, pour syrup over cake and let soak in. Let it sit and repeat after a few minutes.
Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting with a hint of Lime:
Add all of your ingredients except the powder sugar together and whisk together at high speed.
While you are mixing your frosting, slowly add in your powdered sugar.
Once all is done decorate at your own free will. Or…I put my frosting in a zip lock bag and let it sit in the fridge to chill for about 20 minutes. Vegan frosting can be very soft. Once chilled, you can use your zip lock frosting bag as a piping bag.
Cut off a corner of the bag and then decorate.
For added garnish, zest a lime and sprinkle on top.
