Slices of tender white cake feature pretty flecks of fresh mint. The rum glaze and whipped cream garnish are great!

Steps

1

Heat oven to 350°F for shiny metal or glass pan (or 325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with non-stick baking spray.
2

In large bowl, beat cake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter into pan.
3

Bake 28 to 33 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes.
4

Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, mix glaze ingredients. Heat to boiling over high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium; continue to boil 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until glaze has thickened slightly.
5

Poke warm cake every inch with fork tines. Pour glaze slowly over cake. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
6

In small bowl, beat whipping cream and powdered sugar on high speed until soft peaks form. Garnish each serving with whipped cream, mint leaf and shredded lime peel. Store loosely covered at room temperature.

Expert Tips

Tip 1
Kitchen Tips: A mojito typically refers to a cocktail made with lime juice, sugar, mint leaves and rum. We've taken those same flavours and turned them into a tasty cake. In a pinch, use purchased frozen whipped topping, thawed, instead of making your own whipped cream.
