Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup lime juice
1 lime, zested and juiced
1/2 cup super-fine sugar
Pinch salt
1/2 cup tequila
1/2 box confectioners' sugar
Pinch salt
1 lime, zested
1 cup tequila
1 cup lime juice
Store bought angel food cake
Store bought candied lime zest
Whipped cream

Steps:

  • To make the syrup, combine all of the ingredients except the tequila in a saucepot and bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the sugar has melted. Remove syrup from heat, add the tequila, and cool to room temperature.
  • For the icing, place the sugar, salt, and lime zest in a bowl. Add the liquids a little at a time until the mixture is just loose enough to pour. Be careful not to add too much liquid, but if you do, add more sugar as needed.
  • To finish, hold the cake upside down and cut a little well around the bottom of the cake. Pour half of the syrup evenly over the cake. Turn the cake over, and using a pastry brush, paint the cake with the remaining syrup.
  • Drizzle the icing over the cake. Sprinkle with candied lime zest. Slice and serve with whipped cream.
