Directions

• Step 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Step 2 Grease an 8 inch square baking pan.
• Step 3 Combine flour, masa harina, baking powder and salt. Whisk to mix and set aside.
• Step 4 Combine sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, milk, tequila and lime zest. Mix the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Pour batter into your prepared pan and use an offset spatula to spread the batter into the edges of the pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. for about 30 minutes depending upon your oven. When your cake is done, a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake will come out clean. When the cake is done, let it sit on your counter (on a rack) until it is completely cool.
• Step 5 While the cake is baking, make your glaze. Combine confectioners’ sugar, lime zest, and tequila. Mix in lime juice until you have a glaze that is smooth and pourable. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake. Use your offset spatula to spread the glaze so that it completely covers the surface of the cake. Decorate the top of the cake with more lime zest and a very thin slice of lime.
• Step 6 Cook’s Note: This little cake improves greatly on days 2 and 3 after it is baked, but it is admittedly difficult to forgo the pleasure of eating it as soon as it is glazed.
