Method
Step 1
Lightly grease a 23cm x 30cm (9in x 12in) traybake tin or small roasting tin with baking parchment.
Step 2
Combine all the cake ingredients in a bowl and beat well for about 2 minutes or until smooth and thoroughly blended.
Step 3
Turn into the prepared tin and level the surface. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (fan 160°C, gas 4) for 35-40 minutes until the cake is well risen, springy to the touch and beginning to shrink away from the sides if the cake.
Step 4
Leave to cool slightly in the tin, then turn out on to a wire cooling rack, peel off the lining paper, and cool.
Step 5
To make the icing sift the icing sugar into a bowl. Mix in enough of the lime juice to give a runny consistency. Pour over the cooled cake and leave to set. When cool, cut into squares and serve.
