Trisha Yearwood Key Lime Cake
Trisha Cake Is So So Good....!!!
Trisha Yearwood Key Lime 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
½ cup Key lime juice (from about 25 small Key limes or 4 large regular limes)
½ cup confectioners’ sugar
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour three 9-inch-round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix the gelatin, sugar, flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir to mix well. Add the eggs, oil, orange juice, lemon juice, and vanilla. Divide the batter evenly among the 3 pans and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Test for doneness by lightly touching the tops of the layers or inserting a toothpick. Cool the layers in the pans for 5 minutes, then turn them out onto racks.
3. While the layers are still hot, mix the lime juice and confectioners’ sugar and pour it over the layers on the racks. You can pierce the layers with a fork to allow the glaze to soak in better. Allow the layers to cool completely as you prepare the icing.
CREAM CHEESE ICING
½ cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, room temperature
1 (1-lb) box confectioners’ sugar
(I used lime zest & lime juice in my icing)
1. Cream the butter and cream cheese. Beat in the confectioners’ sugar until the mixture is smooth and easy to spread. Spread the icing between the layers and on the top and sides of the cake.
Note: The cream cheese icing is optional. This cake is beautiful and tastes great with just the glaze poured over it. Serves 12.

Southern Candied Yams
My mother made the best yams in the whole world and I am not kidding, well she was my mom so what can I say....
But her yams did melt in your mouth with lots of favor and look and smell so good.
You can tell a good candied yam dish just by looking at it....the color have a lot to do with it that bright orange and yellow color with that gloss of shine and that syrup of goodness.
What made the yams bright is the lemon juice and give it that clean and light taste.
I remember some one bought some candied yams to a church dinner and I just could believe how dark the dish of yams was.
I guess they used dark brown sugar and a lot of dark powder nutmeg and bake those potatoes in the oven to long,
Nobody did not eat those yams and I felt sorry for that sister or brother bring those to the church event.
Ohhhhhh I know what they did, they used the yams in the can and try to fix them up. please please don't ever uses sweet potatoes in a can to make candied yams.
