Happy Friday to everyone!

Today in Utah we are celebrating the 24th of July or “Pioneer Day” so I made a cake.  Ok, I didn’t really make this cake in honor of Pioneer Day, it was just a coincidence that I’m posting a cake today, but we can just pretend.

Anyway this simple Glazed Lime Cake about put me over the edge the other day.  I’d made it awhile back and never posted it so I decided to make it again so I could share it with you.  Well, I decided to try a few “tweaks” that led to epic fails and I ended up throwing away the first two I made.  Oh I wanted to cry. . . three sticks of butter in the garbage!  Ugh!!

Thankfully, the third time was the charm.  This cake is so moist and flavorful. While it’s warm you pour a lime syrup over it that soaks in and makes this cake amazing.

This cake is so simple to throw together.  It’s one of those cakes you can throw together on a whim.  The lime flavor is so refreshing and absolutely delicious!  Perfect for a summer BBQ or for any occasion.
