Serves: 12+ | Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 50-60 min 

 

Ingredients

 

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 package Better Batter Yellow Cake mix
  • 4 eggs OR 1x 15oz can white beans, undrained, pureed
  • 1/2 cup key lime juice
  • 3/4 c water
  • 1/2c melted regular or DF butter

 

Frosting/Garnish Ingredients*

  • 12 oz can of condensed milk OR 1 can Coco Lopez cream of coconut
  • 1/4 c key lime juice
  • zest of 1 lime
  • roughly 1 1/2 lb powdered sugar (varies)
  • Optional: crushed gf graham crackers, sliced lime,s and additional lime zest 

* you may want to double the frosting, depending on preference.

    Instructions

     

    Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a bundt pan.


    In a blender, combine undrained white beans or eggs, 1/2 c key lime juice, water, and melted butter. Blend until smooth.

     

    Place the yellow cake mix into a mixing bowl, then pour the bean puree into the cake mix, stirring until combined and smooth. If using beans, mixture will be thick.

     

    Pour or spoon into prepared pan, and smooth the top of the batter.

     

    Bake in preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a sharp edge inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, and the edges pull away slightly from the pan. 

     

    Set cake aside to cool for at least 10 minutes in pan, while making frosting. 

     

    Make the Frosting: Combine the condensed milk or cream of coconut, key lime juice and lime zest in a small bowl. Stir in powdered sugar a cup at a time, until desired thickness is obtained. You may want to use a double batch of frosting. Your results may vary, so work with the Frosting until you get a thick, pourable texture.  For the photo we doubled the Frosting and used 1 1/2 lb powdered sugar total, 

     

    Transfer the cake onto a plate. Pour half the frosting over the warm cake, reserving half for when the cake is cool.

     

    Once cake is cool, stir the remaining frosting up, adding just a bit of water to thin if necessary, and pour over the cake again. Sprinkle immediately with gf graham cracker crumbs, if desired, and allow to set before serving.
