Flavor this cake with any citrus flavors you want to, it’s so versatile everyone will love it! This wonderful recipe came about after I had a friend round for coffee one day. My friend is lactose intolerant and rarely gets to eat cake so I developed this recipe with her in mind. I’ve seen a lot of recipes that use olive oil in place of butter and milk. I’ve had a couple and found them a bit dense so I decided to try whipping the eggs to make it lighter. Let me tell you, I am really pleased with the result. This cake is super light and packed full of citrus flavor. I had oranges, lemons, and tangerines on hand so that’s what I used for the juices, and for the rind, I used orange and lemon, but I’m guessing lime would work as well. You can use whatever you have on hand, but make sure you use enough rind. The first time I made it, the flavor was a bit flat so I doubled the rind for my second trial run. It turned out perfect. For the glaze, I used a simple mixture of citrus juice and powdered sugar. You don’t miss the milk or butter one bit! If you know someone who can’t eat dairy, this is a perfect solution! My friend was thrilled with it, so if you know someone who can’t have dairy products, give them a treat with this fabulous cake.
