• Limeade concentrate: gives a tangy lime flavor to the cake batter and frosting
• Eggs: help to bind the cake batter together and provide structure
• All-purpose flour: gives structure to the cake and helps to create a light and fluffy texture

How to Make Raspberry Lime Cake

I recommend an electric mixer just because it’ll make your life easier, but you can use your hand too if desired.

Here’s how to get the best raspberry limeade cake!

1. Wet Ingredients: Cream butter, sugar, and lime zest until fluffy.
2. Add: Add limeade concentrate and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
3. Dry Ingredients: Add flour mixture and buttermilk, alternating between the two, and beat until combined.
4. Bake: Pour batter into prepared cake pan and bake the cake mixture in three 9-inch cake pans and let cool.
5. Decorate: Spread raspberry filling between layers and top with lime cream cheese frosting.

Pro Tips:

• Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can lead to a tough cake.
• Always be sure the oven temperature is hot before you add the cakes.
• Mix over low speed and scrape down the bowl of a stand mixer as needed.

Can You Make Raspberry Lime Cake Ahead of Time?

Yes, you can make the cake layers and raspberry filling up to 2 days ahead of time. 

Store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator.

I recommend putting it all together the day you wish to serve it. 

That’ll keep the frosting from drying out and anything from happening to the cake.

 

 

Can You Freeze Raspberry Lime Cake?

Yes, you can freeze the cake layers and raspberry filling separately. 

Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store in airtight containers in the freezer. 

Thaw in the refrigerator before using.

How Long Does Raspberry Lime Cake Last?

The cake will last for up to 5 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

You can also freeze the cake and filling for up to three months.

That will make it easy to pull out any time you need it!

 

 

How to Store Raspberry Lime Cake

Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Or store it wrapped tightly in at least two layers of plastic wrap in the freezer.

Don’t forget to write the date and what it is on your package. Then it won’t get lost in the freezer.

Can I Use a Cake Mix to Make Raspberry Lime Cake?

Yes, you can use a white cake mix as the base for this recipe.

Start by following the instructions on the cake mix box and adding in the lime zest and limeade concentrate to the batter. 

Then, fold in the raspberry filling into the batter before pouring it into the cake pans. 

You can also use the cream cheese frosting as directed in the recipe to frost the cake. 

However, keep in mind that the texture and taste of the cake may be slightly different than if you were to make it from scratch using the recipe provided.

However, this cake is a treat and should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
