# Instructions:

Line an 8-inch (20cm) square pan with parchment paper and set aside. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes before baking.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs for 1 minute using a wire whisk. Add the milk, vegetable oil, lime juice, lime zest, and lime gelatin powder. Whisk until well combined.

Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt over the wet mixture. Gently whisk until the batter is just combined and smooth. Avoid overmixing.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely at room temperature.

In a medium bowl, whisk the condensed milk and lime juice until combined. The mixture will thicken slightly due to the lime juice.

Pour the hot water over the lime gelatin powder and stir until completely dissolved. Add the dissolved gelatin to the condensed milk mixture and stir well.
