Lime Slice

Lime Slice: an exquisite little number... more Audrey Hepburn than Carmen Miranda
Exquisite, exotic, enhancing — a splash of lime juice and sprinkle of lime zest adds a fresh dimension, lovely scent and piquant flavour to all kinds of food and drinks. Peter and I adore limes and always seem to have at least half a dozen on our fruit platter. One of my favourite treats is a double layered lime slice. Rather than being a flamboyant Carmen Miranda of cakes, it's more an exquisite little Audrey Hepburn.

It's simple to prepare and I think most of you will happily add it to your repertoire, especially once you've tasted it.
My recipe is adapted from Margaret Fulton's Delicate Lime Squares, which my mother and I cut out from the 8 May 1993 edition of New Idea magazine. Mum always bought a few women's magazines every week and one of our favourite past-times was to sit and trawl through them together, chatting about food, cooking and recipes, and saving the pages of those dishes that we wanted to cook. How I miss those delicious afternoons in her company.

While the original receipt calls for plain flour, I've given you the option of using gluten free flour, which works perfectly well and is particularly for those who who need to stay off gluten for health reasons. On that subject, in the New Idea article, Ms Fulton notes the health benefits of limes, citing that British sailors were called 'limeys' because they carried limes on their ships as part of their rations to prevent scurvy. Rum was added to preserve the lime juice! And here's another interesting snippet: did you know that limes are green because they are picked unripe? Limes will turn yellow if left to ripen naturally on the tree. 

LIME SLICE
3/4 cup plain flour or gluten free plain flour, sifted
60g unsalted cultured butter, softened
1/4 cup sifted icing sugar
3 free-range eggs
1/2 cup vanilla infused caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons extra plain flour or gluten free flour
juice and finely chopped zest of two limes
extra sifted icing sugar, to serve

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C. Grease and line a 20cm square cake pan with baking paper. Rub the butter into the flour (and baking powder) using a pastry blender (or your fingers). The mixture will resemble bread crumbs when ready. Add the icing sugar, mix well. Pat the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and allow to cool briefly.

Using a zester, slice thin strips of zest from the skin of the limes, then chop the zest strips very finely with a sharp knife. Juice the limes and set aside.

While the base is baking, whisk together the eggs and the sugar until thick and pale, and the mixture has increased in volume, this will take 5-8 minutes. Stir in the additional two tablespoons of flour and then gently blend in the lime juice and zest. Pour this mixture over the cooled, cooked base and return to the oven for a further 18-20 minutes. Bake until golden and set. When ready to serve, sprinkle with icing sugar and cut into squares.

Hints: When juicing any citrus fruits, microwave the fruit for 30 seconds on high beforehand and you'll squeeze double the amount of juice. The juice of lemons and limes can be successfully frozen in ice cube trays and the grated zest also freezes well.

I originally published this recipe on Good Things in 2012, but it's so deliciously good I'd really like to share it again. 

Tell me dear readers, do you enjoy the flavour of limes as much as Peter and I do? Do you grown limes? What's your favourite way of using them?

There is not much in the dessert world nicer than lime. It cuts the sweetness and is very tropical.... what could be better than your Audrey Hepbern lime slice?

Lizzy

Hi Tania! Thank you... lol... did you like the association with the lovely Audrey?!

Amanda link

Ooh, I love limes, Lizzy - especially in gin.
Now I'll have something to nibble with my tipple!

Such a beautiful colour! I am baby sitting my auntie's house this weekend and she has a large lime tree. I could make this:)

A lovely recipe Lizzy. I am a huge fan of the zing of lime. We planted a baby lime tree last year and I am looking forward to the time when I can harvest loads of them! I adore lime in an asian style stir fry and in a a fruit tea in summer.

Lizzy
18/3/2012 09:52:13 pm

Thanks Krystie... you are a cook after my own heart by the sounds of it! Oooh, I am looking forward to updates on your lime tree. I love lime in numerous dishes. Fruit tea... yum!

Fiona @ SRKitchen link
19/3/2012 12:07:24 am

This looks amazing, Lizzy. I absolutely love limes. I have a beautiful Tahitian lime tree that is fruiting as I type. I love using them in many Thai dishes or just drizzled over a salad…and let's not forget how perfect they are crushed with mint in mineral water and vodka ;-)

Lizzy
19/3/2012 07:05:39 am

Hi Fiona, wow another lime tree owner. That's wonderful. I bet home grown limes taste wonderful. And with mint and mineral water, even without the vodka. Yum!

Sara @ Bellly Rumbles link
19/3/2012 12:46:37 am

Lime would be my fave citrus. Love the look of your slice, yummy.

Lizzy
19/3/2012 07:06:48 am

Hi Sara, oh, mine too! Thank you for your kind words. Peter said last night that I should have popped some long thin strips of lime zest on top of the slice to add colour to the photo.... quite right.. my man the food stylist!

InTolerant Chef link
19/3/2012 08:39:45 am

They sound like lovely afternoons indeed Lizzy, and such a lovely recipe too!
I have a kaffir lime tree, a lime/orange split, and a finger lime tree all in pots. I love the flavour!
I bought 111 limes for$10 last week, so this recipe will come in very handy thanks Lizzy :)

Lizzy
19/3/2012 06:41:21 pm

Wowie!!! 111 limes for $10... what are you going to do with them? I am looking forward to seeing that! Ah, and a kaffir lime and the other citrus in pots. Yummy. You are my kinda cook/gardener! Thanks for popping in. Let me know if you cook this slice xo

Barbara link

I love the colour of those limes. Lime slice looks wonderful.

Lizzy
19/3/2012 06:41:57 pm

Hello Barbara, aren't they so pretty. The slice is a delicate, old fashioned sort of thing. I love it so much.

Yay for citrus!! I make a lemon slice but keep thinking I should try lime - this looks delicious. Thanks for sharing!

Winston link
20/3/2012 01:54:50 am

Hahahha... I seriously, love how you made references to Carmen Miranda and Audrey Hepburn in your recipe. I totally get what you're trying to say, hilarious. I like how these lime slices can be a bit deceiving with its looks, but once you bite into them you realise they've got so much character. Nice one! And it must be so precious to use a cut out recipe from 1993!

Lizzy
20/3/2012 07:08:27 am

LOL, thanks Winston. Yes, exactly as you say, the slice looks quite simple but is very flavoursome. I guess 1993 sounds like a long time ago... I have a pile of much older magazine recipes ; )

Jennifer link
20/3/2012 11:42:29 am

We're big lovers of lime in the Delicieux house too, and I love the look of your lime slice. I love that it's a recipe you clipped from a magazine with your Mum. I didn't know the fact about limes ripening on the tree turning yellow either. Thanks for sharing :D

Lizzy

Hiya Jennifer... ah, another cook after my own heart. I do hope you will try this one! Thanks for popping in.

Dear Lizzy,

These limes look so fresh, no wonder you have your margaritas whenever there's a meltdown with the neighbour's kids. Love to pop them into a G & T as well. Love the flavours of lime on BBQ prawns or lilme juice in a seafood dipping sauce with fresh red chillies, palm sugar and fish sauce.

Lizzy
3/7/2014 07:40:41 pm

Thanks Chopinand!

Jane @ Shady Baker link
20/3/2012 06:40:07 pm

We love limes too Lizzy. I have a great tree which is loaded with limes at the moment so this recipe will be handy! I like to use the juice in Thai style salads. Also, I have a good recipe for a lime and yoghurt cake which is dense and a little bit tangy...yummy! Lovely photos as usual :)

Lizzy
20/3/2012 07:07:45 pm

Jane, hello! Another lovely cook with her own lime tree! Oh, I am really envious! Do I have room for a lime tree? Hmmm, such an established garden, probably not! The juice is Thai salads is divine isn't it! Is that cake on your bloggy?

Jane link
20/3/2012 08:22:08 pm

No, I have not blogged that cake Lizzy but I will, it is a good one :)

Dear Chopin, LOL... cheeky comment that one... I had to edit it slightly, as many people read my blog, you know ; )
Lime with prawns or other seafood and those combos you mention are just perfect! Lovely to see you!

Fantastic tip about juicing the limes too!

Lizzy
21/3/2012 06:45:38 pm

Oh Moya, I love limes too. No lime tree here, though. I might look at growing one in a big pot!

Nic link
21/3/2012 10:54:22 pm

I love limes, and this sounds delicious. I have had a lime tree for two and a half years now and I still haven't had a single lime :( Here's hoping that it yields something soon!

Maureen @ Orgasmic Chef link
22/3/2012 04:58:15 pm

wow, perfect slice!

I don't know why but my fingers never get the zest to look as good as yours. I make a total mess of it. So I just use a microplane :)

Lizzy
22/3/2012 08:50:38 pm

Hello dear Maureen! Do you have a good zester? The Zyliss one in my pics is a little beauty and really user friendly. The microplane is good too, but I tend to nick my knuckles when zesting citrus.

Laura (Tutti Dolci) link
23/3/2012 02:58:28 am

Citrus desserts always appeal to me, plus you compared the lime slice to Audrey Hepburn. What's not to love?!

Lizzy

LOL... it is quite Audrey Hepburn... wait till you taste it Laura!

Maria
24/3/2012 11:17:07 am

Lizzy I cooked this last night for the family, there was not a crumb left. It is a simple recipe with a delicious result. It is now in my favorites and will be baked again & again! Thank you!

Lizzy

Do I grow limes? I have a lime tree does that count? Never had a lime from it though sadly. I love limes. Citrussy desserts and baked goodies are my favourites.

Lizzy
25/3/2012 08:42:10 pm

LOL, yup Claire that counts! Hmmmm, I wonder how to make your lime a happy lime that makes fruit!? Did you check the Burke's Backyard web site?

Andrea
11/2/2014 07:41:14 pm

How yummy, lime is such a favourite in our household. We grow limes in pots, from Tahitian, kafir to finger limes..on days off tomorrow, going to get my bake on!!

Your lime squares look divine, Lizzy. I adore lime desserts, but Bill will only eat lemon. Makes me want them even more :)

Lizzy

Perhaps you can substitute lemon in this one, Liz... pity Bill won't eat lime based cakes!

Lorraine @ Not Quite Nigella link

John @ Kitchen Riffs link

Always a pleasure to revisit an old recipe! Particularly one as good as this. I didn't know that limes would ripen further -- I don't think I've ever seen one in that stage. And we used to have a lime tree! But always picked them green. ;-)

David Scott Allen link

We call these "squares" in the States, but I love the term "slice" much better. I have made thousands of lemon squares / slices in my life - even orange ones with chocolate shortbread crust - but never lime! This is a definite for me when our limes are ripe. And, yes, they do turn yellow and the juice is much sweeter when they remain on the tree!

Lizzy
19/7/2014 12:36:56 pm

Hi David, isn't it interesting that we have different cooking terms... yes, do try it and let me know... : )

I love lime desserts! This one sounds wonderful. I've been away for a while - a car accident, surgery and then a move have kept me apart. But I'm back now and i am enjoying looking at everything I missed during my "hiatus." What fabulous things!

This is the weirdest thing I have ever made, sort of like a lime flavoured omelette :-/ Strangely addictive actually.... My standard practice is to reduce sugar by half and use rapadura. Fair to say it didn't really work here and I'm giving it another go without fiddling. Having said that, replacing the flour with half white spelt and half brown rice flour for the base was delightful!
