Mom Tips

Persian lime is a low acidity citrus fruit, classified within the sweet limes.

You can find Persian lime in open-air markets or at the Municipal Market in your city.

Suggestion: the cake made in the pan, if you prefer, can have frosting. Just mix well a can of condensed milk with half a can of lemon juice and half a can of lemon juice. Use the empty condensed milk can to measure the juices. Sprinkle with lemon zest on top.
