Ingredients

The Key Lime Cake at Bonefish Grill is typically made from the following ingredients:

  • Cake Layers: The cake itself is typically made from flour, sugar, eggs, and baking powder to create a light, airy texture. Some versions may also include a small amount of Key lime juice to enhance the flavor.
  • Key Lime Filling: A tangy, smooth filling made from fresh Key lime juice, sugar, and eggs, giving it that distinct tart flavor.
  • Frosting: The cake is usually topped with a creamy, whipped frosting made from butter, sugar, and possibly some cream cheese or whipped cream, which adds richness and balances out the tartness of the lime.
  • Graham Cracker Crust: Many Key Lime Cakes incorporate a graham cracker crust, either as a base layer or sprinkled on top for texture, reminiscent of the crust in traditional Key Lime Pie.
  • Key Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed Key lime juice is used to achieve the cake’s signature tart flavor. This is the key ingredient that sets this dessert apart.
  • Whipped Cream (optional): Some versions may include a dollop of whipped cream on top of the cake, adding extra creaminess and a bit of sweetness.

Allergens

  • Dairy: The Key Lime Cake contains dairy, particularly in the frosting and possibly in the cake itself. It may include butter, cream cheese, or whipped cream.
  • Eggs: Eggs are used in both the cake batter and the Key lime filling, so this dessert is not suitable for those with an egg allergy.
  • Gluten: The cake is made with wheat flour, so it contains gluten. It is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities.
  • Graham Crackers: The graham cracker crust, if included, may contain gluten, dairy, and possibly honey or other sweeteners.
  • Soy: If commercially prepared ingredients (like frosting or cake mix) are used, they may contain soy. It’s important to ask about the specific ingredients if you have a soy allergy.
  • Citrus: The dessert contains Key lime juice, which may cause sensitivity for people who are allergic to citrus.

Recommendations

  • For a lighter option: While Key Lime Cake is a rich and indulgent dessert, you can opt for a smaller portion or share it with a friend to reduce calorie intake. Alternatively, you could ask for the frosting to be served on the side or to skip the whipped cream topping.
  • For a richer experience: Enjoy the full experience of Bonefish Grill’s Key Lime Cake, complete with its creamy frosting, tart lime filling, and crunchy graham cracker crust. Pair it with a Moscato or Riesling to complement the sweet-tart flavors of the cake.
  • Wine Pairing: A Moscato or a Riesling (both sweet white wines) would pair nicely with the Key Lime Cake, as their sweetness can balance the tartness of the Key lime flavor. If you prefer a non-alcoholic option, a sparkling lemonade or lime soda would be refreshing.
  • For a gluten-free option: Unfortunately, due to the flour and graham cracker crust, the Key Lime Cake is not gluten-free. Bonefish Grill may have other dessert options for those avoiding gluten, so it’s worth asking about alternatives.

Key Lime Cake at Bonefish Grill is a delightful and refreshing dessert that combines the tangy flavor of Key limes with a creamy and rich texture. Whether you enjoy it as a special treat after a seafood meal or as a sweet ending to your dining experience, it’s a great choice for dessert lovers.
