Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Mix the softened butter and sugar together until creamy, then add in the eggs, one at a time.
  4. Stir in the sour cream, vanilla, lime juice, and lime zest until combined.

  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  10. Prepare the raspberry glaze by combining raspberries and powdered sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
  11. Assemble the cake by layering the cooled cakes with raspberry glaze.

Notes

For a tropical twist, add shredded coconut to the batter. For a vegan version, substitute flax eggs for the regular eggs.
