Ingredients

10 servings

  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 2 limes, zested
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh mint
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons rum
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • ¾ cup grapeseed oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 4 large mint leaves, torn
  • 2 tablespoons rum

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  • Combine sugar, lime zest, and mint in a medium bowl. Rub together with your fingers until moist and fragrant. Add lime juice and rum; whisk until dissolved. Whisk in yogurt, oil, and eggs.
  • Stir flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Slowly add the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Tent loaf with foil if it starts browning too quickly.
  • Cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack set over a baking sheet.
  • Prepare the glaze while the loaf is cooling. Whisk powdered sugar, lime juice, and mint leaves in a small saucepan. Cook and stir over low heat until glaze is smooth and mint has wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in rum until completely combined.
  • Strain glaze into a measuring cup with a spout, pressing against the mint leaves to extract as much flavor as possible. Let sit until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the glaze over the cooling cake, letting excess drip down the sides. Let loaf cool and glaze firm up before slicing.
