      This is cooling as I type. I snagged a piece from it because it smelled so good and I couldn't resist. I also made it in a loaf pan and I have put a lime glaze on top after poking holes in it so it could soak in. I didn't use the peanuts just out of personal preference. You have to try this one if you like Limes!!

      Wow, so easy and so tasty and refreshing! A nice different take on a cake, very light. I used oil in place of butter, added the zest of the lime I used for juice, and made it gluten free using 1 c rice flour and 1/2 c tapioca starch. I think I forgot to add xanthan gum and the recipe still turned out well!

      I love this cake, which reminds me of a pound cake. It was so easy to make and much loved by my fellow Book Club members. My lime gave up three tablespoons of juice. I also added the zest for an extra hit of flavour. I cut it into 16 squares, making each one a not-so-guilty quick bite of wonderfulness. Like another reviewer, I can imagine poking holes in the cake and adding a lime glaze. I can guarantee I will make this often. Straight into my Top 100 cookbook. A random choice to make for a tag game in the African Forum.

      Good, but I found it a little sweet and I couldn't taste the lime very much.

      This was a good cake, but not great. I found it dry and also dense not in a good way. I like one reviewers idea of subbing vanilla yogurt, will try that next time. I will make it again, but with some variations.

      Easy prep but not light and fluffy...not a delight.

      Yummy and wonderful recipe! I sprinkled salted cocktail peanuts on top before baking. I love the sweet, lime fluffy-ness of the cake and the crunchy-ness of the peanuts. Perfect for a crunchy, salty, sweet lover like me! Thanks for an easy and great recipe!

      This was sooooo yummy! I used the suggestion of an earlier review and added the grated zest for a little more punch because my lime was a little bit small. Very simple to make and such a wonderful result. I will be make this again this weekend. Thankyou Chabear01

      I'm adding a star to my rating as everyone but me "loved this"...Everyone kept saying "It reminds me of something."...mexican bread and macaroons were two things people said it reminded them of. I made this for the REVISED Zaar Cookbooks Tag (Cooking Game). I hate to be the first person to give it a lower rating but it's good not wonderful. I followed all of the directions and baked it in a square pan. The only change I made was to sprinkle white sugar on top before baking it. It baked for 20 minutes and ended up dry. Mine doesn't have much flavor. I had a juicy lime but perhaps some lime zest would "zest" it up. It was VERY simple to make though. Thanks for the recipe.

      Awesome recipe. It uses things I normally have on hand. It's light flavor is really nice with a cup of tea or coffee. I sprinkle mine with powdered sugar before serving.

      What a delightful little cake. Dense yet soft with a very nice twang from the lime. Baked in in a square cake pan and will try it in a loaf pan next time. Did not use any frosting or peanuts (we are not very "frosty" here in Europe). Thanks for posting.

      This was delcious!!!!The lime flavor was very soft but just enough so you could taste it. I made a couple of changes by using vanilla yogurt instead of butter and 1 tbsp bottled lime juice instead of fresh. I baked mine in a 8x8 and it was done after 21 minutes of baking. Thanks for the recipe Chabear01!

      Oh this was goooood. I'm so visual, I saw the picture and made mine in a loaf pan as well. This adds about 8-10 minutes to the cooking time. I used light butter and replaced about 1/4 cup of the sugar with Splenda to make this a 2 point treat. The cake itself is much like a pound cake - dense with a soft crumb - with a lovely tanginess from the lime. A definite keeper. Thanks Chabear01!

      Delicious cake! Very simple, very quick. I think I'm going to experiment with different types of icings/frostings on this one. I baked it in a loaf pan like pound cake and it turned out great! Left out the peanuts simply because I didn't happen to have any on hand. I love this recipe! Thanks!!
