• To Finish the Cake
• As soon as cake is removed from the oven, use a toothpick and poke holes all over the bottom of the cake.

• Make the glaze and brush a layer over the entire cake.
• Combine the salt, sugar and lime for the garnish (taste it...the salt should be evident but not overpowering, add more sugar if necessary for your taste).
• Once the glaze has cooled on the cake move it to a cake plate and drizzle the remaining glaze over the cake and sprinkle with the salt/sugar lime mixture.
• Let stand until the glaze has hardened.
• Slice, Serve and Cheers!
