  4. Grease and flour a 9x13 pan.
  5. Pour cake batter into pan and bake in oven for 50 minutes, or until cake is set.
  6. Let cake cool for about 10 minutes.
  7. Using a fork, carefully poke several holes into the cake.
  8. Make glaze by combining powdered sugar and lime juice and stirring until smooth.
  9. Pour glaze on top of the cake slowly so that it will seep into the holes.
