mini lime coconut bundt cakes !!

so the other day i was catering an event (family reunion) and one of the guest made a key lime cake. as weird as it sounds it was soooooooooo delicious !! the texture was incredible as was the cream cheese frosting. since then its all i've been craving. so i searched the web and found several different recipes and pieced some together to make my own. and although its not hers its just as good or dare i say better :)

for the cake:
■1 3-oz package lime-flavored gelatin
■1⅓ cups granulated sugar■2 cups sifted all-purpose flour■½ tsp salt■1 tsp baking powder■1 tsp baking soda■5 large eggs, slightly beaten■1½ cups vegetable oil■¾ cup orange juice■1 Tbsp lemon juice■½ tsp vanilla extract


coconut cream cheese frosting:
4 oz of cream cheese soft
4 oz of butter
3-4 cups of  powdered sugar
1 tsp coconut extract

garnish with lime zest and coconut flakes (optional)

Directions : pre heat oven to 350. in a bowl combine all dry ingredients and set aside. in your stand mixer add all of your wet ingredients and mix until combined 1-2 minutes and then add dry a little at a time. bake for 20-28 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

pipe with frosting and garnish.
