Introduction

There's no shortage of lime flavour in these cakey bars! Tangy sour cream and the zest of four limes make a deliciously citrusy base, while custard powder adds just a hint of "key lime pie" element. A liberal drizzle of lime-infused glaze seals the deal! There's no shortage of lime flavour in these cakey bars!
