Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 0.25 cup Fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Lime zest
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice (for glaze)
• 1 teaspoon Lime zest (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground ginger, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

Mix in the lime juice, lime zest, and grated ginger until well incorporated.

Step 6

With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk in three additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and lime juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 11

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and spread it evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 12

Garnish with lime zest for a pop of color and extra burst of flavor. Slice and serve!
