I made the key lime cake last night but realized my pans were too big for one mix. I needed two. I didn't have time to go get it so I poured the batter out of the pans and into a ziplock bag and put it in the fridge overnight. I didn't bake it because I tint the batter with a little sky blue coloring to make the cake look lime colored and I wanted both layers to be the same shade. My question is-since the key lime batter has almost the juice of 3 limes in it, is it ok to sit for 24 hours in the fridge with the egg in the batter too? I put pancake batter in the fridge overnight once and it wasn't good the next day. I don't want to waste it, but I need to know if it will be ok to back tonight. Anyone ever leave batter uncooked and then use it? Thanks for your help.
I have doubts it will rise. It's not a matter of being spoiled, but just not "working" properly.
I agree, especially since there is lime juice in there with one box recipe, it almost starts to "cook". I would be safe and start over for your order, but cook that one for home and see how it is. Sometimes we learn new things from experimenting. If you do bake it, let us know how it is.
Thanks!
Ohhh I would love to know your results on this! Sometimes I have left over batter and want to make it the next day. Please let us know if you bake it up and how it goes!

Can't speak to the lime juice issue, but I hold regular batters all the time. In fact I have a huge bucket of white cake batter in the fridge right now.
Bake it up and let us know!
That's good to know! Do you need to do anything before you bake the cake batter that has been in the fridge...like mix it again with your mixer or let it come to room temperature?
