This Banana Lime Cake would be the perfect way to celebrate Mother’s Day. It is full of banana flavor with a lime back up. It has a texture much like a banana bread, but a little denser, and it is the perfect pairing to a cup of coffee. It is drizzled with a lime frosting and accented with banana chips. I made this cake using a mini tube pan, and 2 disposable loaf pans, because I am mailing them. This mini pan is plenty for four people. 
parchment paper 2 cups Flour pinch of Salt 1 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder 3/4 cup firmly packed Brown Sugar 1 teaspoon Lime Zest 1 Banana 1 tablespoon Lime Juice 1 Egg 5 ounces Cream Cheese-softened 2/3 cup Golden Raisin
Topping
1 cup Confectioner’s Sugar 2-3 teaspoon Lime Juice 1/2 teaspoon finely grated Lime Zest
Decorate
Banana Chips finely grated Lime Zest Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 7″ round pan and line with parchment. Because I used the mini tube pan, I cut a circle of parchment for that. The paper disposable pans do not require parchment, but it won’t hurt anything if you use it. 
Grate your lime using a grater or a microplane. 
Sift your flour, salt and baking powder into a large bowl. 
Stir in the sugar and lime zest. 
Mash up your banana and mix it with the lime juice. 
Make a well in the bowl of dry ingredients. 
Add the egg, banana mix, cream cheese, and raisins. 
Mix until fully blended, then pour batter into pans. 
Bake for 25-30 minutes. If you are using another type of pan, adjust accordingly. 
The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Then let pans sit on a cooling rack until completely cool. 
Sift the confectioner’s sugar into a bowl. The sifting is important because you don’t want any lumps in your drizzle. Sifting will prevent that. 
Add the lime juice 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition. The drizzle should be slightly thick. Once you have a good consistency add in the lime zest and stir. 
Drizzle your cake with the frosting. Sprinkle lime zest over the cake. Decorate your cake with banana chips.
