When the cake comes out, poke about a zillion little holes in it. I use the bamboo skewers you use for kabobs. Pour a mixture of one can sweetened condensed milk mixed w/ 3/4 c key lime juice ( Nellie and Joes is best...unless you are a masochist and squeeze your own) Rest in the fridge for 4 or more hours and frost with stabilized whipped cream.



Anyone that stands and squeezes their own Key Limes needs counseling. icon_surprised.gif Those buggers are brutal!!!! icon_razz.gif

I have this lime squeezer that is really easy to use to squeeze even those key limes. It's from Mexico. It looks like a garlic press but round and you stick 1/2 a lime in it and squeeze. It's really handy. I have a big one and a little one.

You know, you would think with that one being so obvious I would have tried it, but I haven't! icon_eek.gificon_lol.gif And seeing as it has been "thirded", it looks like I'll be making one in the next week or so. Maybe I should round up a couple others and have a tasting... DH and the In-law's would LOOOOOVE that! icon_lol.gif

Thank you! thumbs_up.gificon_biggrin.gif

Yes! Ever since I made my first pumpkin pie with fresh puree, I haven't used canned for any of my pumkin recipes. icon_biggrin.gif And since the mandarin slices are layed on the top, I don't see how you couldn't use them fresh!

Ok I just tried using that and it didn't work. If you go to the epicurious.com and type in search...shubox coconut cake...then it brings up several choices and the one from Bon Appetit is the one. It will tell that it is the one from Shubox.
