I was worried when I saw the big lumps of lime so I just used the juice and some grated rind and it turned out lovely. Will cook this again

Made this cake today, but substituted limes for 1 & 1/2 Navel oranges. The oranges will need to be boiled first to reduce the bitterness of the skin). The cake was delish, and i will definately be making again!!!

I thought this sounded great when Anna was makiing it. It was very easy to cook looks great but tastes very very bitter. I think it would be better to grate the rind and then remove just the flesh of the lime. Not sure if I would try this again.

  I tried doing this with just the grated rinded and flesh rather than the entire lime. The cake still had a really horrible bitter after taste. I even tried it with cream sweetened with sugar and dusted it with heaps of icing sugar but this didn't mask the bitter after taste.
