• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup neutral flavored oil, I used canola
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup milk
• 5 egg whites
• 2 teaspoons red food coloring- optional. I didn't use it, but sometimes people like a brighter red color for strawberry cakes.
• 10 tablespoons butter, softened
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 4 tablespoons lime zest- reserve 1 for sprinkling on top
• Fresh lime juice- This amount will be variable, depending on how thick or thin you like your icing to be
