Equipment

Ingredients 

Lime Icing:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbs lime juice (+ zest for garnish)
  • 2 tbs milk of choice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉. Line a 9×4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper (or spray with oil or grease with butter).
  • Note: If you don't have Self Rising Flour, simply add in 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and the sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Sift in the flour and mix until JUST fully incorporated. Lastly, whisk in the lime zest and juice until fully incorporated. Transfer the batter to your loaf pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out completely clean.
  • Allow the loaf to rest in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to fully cool before adding on the icing.

Lime Icing:

  • Whisk together the ingredients in a small bowl. Adjust with milk if you prefer a drippier consistency. Add icing to a fully cooled cake.

Notes

*NOTE: If you don’t have Self Rising Flour, simply add in 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

    Loaf was just okay. Don’t know if I would make it again. Despite the 4 Tbsp of lime juice and zest, the loaf was very mild tasting. It was moist so definitely good yo eat. Ifollowed the icing recipe but it made waaaaay to much icing and, unfortunately, between the 2 Tbsp of lime juice and Tbsp of milk, it was more of a glaze so too late to “ice” the loaf

      This one was a miss for me. Made as written, but with a little extra lime based on other reviews. Did not appreciate the texture of this loaf. I found it very solid and heavy. Wouldn’t make this one again.

    Has ANYONE actually made this with LIMES?! Not sure why it can’t just be made with LIMES as the recipe shows, instead of people always posting comments on changing it.

        • Stella

        Hi Anne, I haven’t tried it but it should work with GF all purpose flour

      • K

      Can I substitute the eggs? Maybe applesauce instead?

        • Stella

        I havent tried it and i’m not sure if it would work here…..

      • khelda Sounya Jabbar

      I just did it ! Opted for no glaze: added lime slices to the bottom of pan for a sweet and sour taste! An immediate hit

        • Stella

        Hi Khelda, that’s such a great idea! Thanks so much for sharing your tips with us!

      • Lawrence

      Is there a casein free and gluten free way to make this?
      Casein is a protein found in mammal milk? Can this recipe be made with almond milk? Is there gluten free self rising flour?

      • Joanna Brown

      Could you use lemon for lemon loaf? Thx.

        • J Sweitzer

        If you scroll down a little further, there is a recipe for lemon loaf that is about the same. A couple of differences.

      • Christy

      Can you substitute lemon for the lime?

        Hi Christy, yes absolutely! Enjoy!

      • Debbie

      Could you make with lemon instead of lime?

          • A

          can we make with almond flour

            • Stella

            I haven’t tried it with almond flour so I cannot say if that would work.
