Q: <strong>Can this Cake be Frozen?</strong>

Yes, just as with the majority of our cakes, from white velvet cake to coconut pound cake , lemon bundt cake and more, this cake freezes beautifully. Once the cake has baked and cooled down to slightly warm (or room temperature), wrap it tightly in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil. Pop into the freezer for up to three months ! To thaw: We prefer to move the frozen, wrapped cake from the freezer to the refrigerator the day before we need it. Then, the next morning, move it to the kitchen counter and warm to room temperature.

Question 2

Why is Sweetened Coconut Used rather than Unsweetened?

Accepted Answer

Sweetened coconut is the more popular option for use in baking as it is softer and more moist than unsweetened coconut (which has a dry, chewy texture).

Question 3

What is the advantage of Lime Juice from Concentrate over fresh Lime Juice?

Accepted Answer

The flavor of fresh lime juice is more likely to bake out of cakes (just as with other fresh juices like lemon juice, orange juice, etc.) Lime juice from concentrate adds a stronger flavor. However, we still like the added boost that we get from lime zest and lime extract.

Question 4

What is the Substitute for Lime Extract?

Accepted Answer

Lime extract is harder to find at the grocery store than other extracts. I ordered mine from amazon (McCormick Brand). I do really like the added boost of lime flavor that extracts give, but if you don't have extract, you will still have a light lime flavor from the zest and lime juice concentrate.

*You can also use 2 Tablespoons of lime jello powder instead of lime extract if you'd like. It will tint your cake batter light green. Just add it along with the sugar. ;0)
