CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Preparation method:
- Preheat the oven to 170°C . Grease and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, caster sugar and vanilla extract together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time until combined.
- Fold in the flour and salt until just combined.
- Add the lime zest, lime juice, Amasi and chopped pistachios. Gently mix until mixed through.
- Spread the mixture out into the loaf tin. Bake for 50 - 55 minutes until cooked. Meanwhile make the lime drizzle.
- In a small saucepan, stir the lime juice and sugar together over low heat until melted and warm.
- As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, use a toothpick to prick the top all over and then spoon over the lime drizzle.
- Leave the cake to cool in tin for 15 minutes, then turn out and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack.
TO MAKE THE CREAM CHEESE ICING:
- Beat the butter until soft and fluffy then add the icing sugar and beat until smooth and combined.
- Take the cream cheese out of the fridge and add it to the bowl. Gently fold until the frosting is combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as it can quickly become runny.
- Spread the cream cheese frosting over the top of the loaf cake.
- Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and lime zest.
Enjoy!
