Come join me in KEY LIME LAND! I went a little bit nutty with this one, it's KEY LIME EVERYTHING! But with one easy recipe for moist, fluffy key lime cake~ turned into dozens of variations! Including a new recipe for NO CREAM CHEESE~ Cream Cheese Icing! Grab the recipes here www.gretchensveganbakery.com/key-lime-cake/
I love putting lactic acid in my creams cause many people don’t realize, that’s what makes cream cheese taste like cream cheese! Regular cream wouldn’t even be tangy without it! 😂 Great recipes as always 👌
Never made a Mojito cake, and it would never occur to me to do so. That's why you're the expert! This looks like it would be really refreshing for a springtime dessert, and I especially appreciate the 222 frosting recipe; genius! I cannot wait to try it on many things! Thanks for posting : )
Hey Gretchen, lol at the parchment paper 😳 that’s something I’d do for sure. All those recipes look magnificent 😍 all those are so good, I bet they were delicious
Hi Gretchen! So excited to make this for the coming warmer weather! How many cupcakes does the recipe make? Cupcakes are preferred since it's easier to serve!
Nice you see a pro make mistakes too!! Learned a lot and plan to make the sheet cake this week.. would love to know what the green crumbles on top of the cake are.. maybe cake crumbs?
Hey Gretchen! Thank you for sharing. You’re content is amazing! I’ve been on the search for lactic acid. Druids Grove and Modernist Pantry are out of stock. Any suggestions for where I can find it please?
Yes I just saw that as well! I have not tried any other brands besides the 2 you mentioned, so I would start reading reviews to see if there is another comparable brand
I have it listed on the recipe post as "stable up to 80F, otherwise it is best to refrigerate. Also, an addition of shortening in place of the vegan butter may be recommended for those needing the cake to stay out (in warmer climates) at length or a heavily decorated cake will need more stability. The idea behind using shortening in the first place (as you mentioned) is only for stability. I have not been using it since my cakes are eaten quite quickly, but for commercial applications & reason I mentioned above it is a good idea to use some shortening
I have not had any luck with this recipe in rolling. BUT! I have modified the box cake, and IT ROLLS! So if you take the white cake box, modify according to my BOX CAKE HACK HERE---> www.gretchensveganbakery.com/how-to-replace-the-eggs-in-a-box-cake-mix/ But instead of the 1 cup water, I use ½ cup water & ½ lime juice! IT'S AWESOME!!
I have not tried that, but they are similar? However lactic acid tends to be more "sour" so you would have to play around with the ratio, I would probably add just a little at a time and taste as I go to determine the amount to be used
The yellow cake recipe (which is the base recipe I used to make this Key Lime) works great with a 1:1 sub However I did have to tweak that recipe to accommodate the key lime addition, so I cannot be 100% sure this would work equally well, it's worth a try though! If you do a small test please let me know!

How much do you put in per 8oz?
My goodness. I'm dying here. That looks glorious..
Everything looks amazing. I am very excited to try making this cake & cupcakes this summer. Mojitos were fave cocktail back in the day.
wow the Gretchen's Bakery Show did it again!
Gorgeous cake and valuable information how to fix the cake construction problem. Your recipes are always great and delicious 😋!!!!
Gretchen, your key lime cake looks absolutely gorgeous, perfect for my 33rd birthday on April 19th.
Mm, that fabulous layer of paper in the middle really takes this perfect cake to the next level, lol! You are hilarious and amazing!
LOL! Extra fiber cake!

That's an impression spread of options! Especially excited to try the mojito cake.
I have got to try the 2/2/2 cream cheese frosting recipe. Stunning cake as always Gretchen:))) Jenxoxox!😁💚💚
What a nice idea!😋☺️
Hey Gretchen, lol at the parchment paper 😳 that’s something I’d do for sure. All those recipes look magnificent 😍 all those are so good, I bet they were delicious
Ahhhhh this looks delicious! And! I've gotten ridiculously lucky. My local Lowes Foods is actually carrying key limes. I'm shocked. Lol.
Hi Gretchen! So excited to make this for the coming warmer weather! How many cupcakes does the recipe make? Cupcakes are preferred since it's easier to serve!
It will make 24 cupcakes, fill liners 3/4 full ~bake same temp 350 - I'd check them at about 18 minutes
Nice you see a pro make mistakes too!! Learned a lot and plan to make the sheet cake this week.. would love to know what the green crumbles on top of the cake are.. maybe cake crumbs?
Thanks! Yes! cake crumbs
We called it 'limau kasturi' in Malaysia

I've accidently left the parchment paper on my husband's birthday cake. Thankfully, it was just the 2 of us eating it.
Where can I find the druids grove lactic acid? It’s sold out everywhere I look :(
Does the 2-2-2 hold up pretty well in warm temperatures? I'm a bit curious how it's able to not melt without any addition of shortening.

Gretchen, question. Would this recipe work if I wanted to roll it like a swiss roll?

@@GretchensVeganBakery you're the best! Thank youuu! 😊 💛
Can i use citric acids?
I have not tried that, but they are similar? However lactic acid tends to be more "sour" so you would have to play around with the ratio, I would probably add just a little at a time and taste as I go to determine the amount to be used
Would this work with gluten-free flour mix? Sometimes they get gummy.
The yellow cake recipe (which is the base recipe I used to make this Key Lime) works great with a 1:1 sub
However I did have to tweak that recipe to accommodate the key lime addition, so I cannot be 100% sure this would work equally well, it's worth a try though! If you do a small test please let me know!
Where can you order vegan food grade lactic acid?
