Mini Honey Lime Olive Oil Cakes with Lime Whipped Cream

Recipe by Katherine Cowger The perfect light dessert, these mini honey lime olive oil cakes are great for any occasion. Notes of cardamom with the lime elevate the cake while the lime whipped cream takes it up a notch!

Honey Lime Cakes:

• 1 plain Greek yogurt • 2/3 cup olive oil (plus extra for cups) • 2/3 cup honey • 2 tsp lime zest • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Lime whipped cream:

• 1 cup heavy cream • 1/4 cup sugar • 2 tbsp lime juice • 3 eggs • 1 1/2 cups flour • 1/2 tsp baking powder • 1/2 tsp baking soda • 1/4 tsp cardamom • 1/4 tsp salt

• 1 tsp vanilla extract • lime slices for garnish (optional) 1. Preheat oven to 325°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, honey, lime zest and vanilla. Add the eggs and combine then add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt) mix until the batter is smooth. 2. Pour the batter into custard cups coated in olive oil. Bake for 20 minutes until the top is golden brown. If using a regular cake pan, bake for 40 to 45 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, make the whipped cream. In a large chilled bowl, beat the cream until it begins to thicken.

Add the sugar, lime juice and vanilla, beating until stiff peaks form. 4. Let the cakes cool for at least 10 minutes. Top with the whipped cream and lime slices. Enjoy!

in one weekend. Dear Ms. Price, I’m 16 years old and have just moved to Florida from Minnesota. I just started my first job at a gift shop. It’s part-time and on the weekend because I still go to school. When I showed up for work on my first Saturday, they made me stay for eight hours with the same eight-hour schedule on Sunday. That’s 16 hours

I think that’s too many hours, and I want to quit. The only thing I like about my life here is going to the beach, and now I won’t be able to go as often as I’d like. The job is enjoyable. What do you think? Should I quit? -Beached in St. Pete

Dear “Beached,” I’m confused. You applied for a part-time job. And now you want to quit because you think 16 hours is cutting into your beach time? Did you clarify your hours of availability to your new employer? Did they give you a schedule in advance? Have you had a conversation with your new employer? You’re at an appropriate age to accept extra responsibilities as long as it doesn’t interfere with school. And you say it’s a pleasant environment. I am confident that you can make room for beach time. It’s all part of becoming an adult. -Ms. Price

Dear Ms. Price, I finally made a move to a downtown high-rise apartment building in St. Pete. I couldn’t be happier, with one exception: the sound from my next-door neighbor. They warned me that the walls were thin in this building, but I didn’t listen. I have Zoom meetings every day and talk to clients, and it’s embarrassing when they can hear my neighbor’s music, bass turned up to the max, yelling and dogs barking. I feel horrible. After all this time and hard work, my dream apartment is becoming a nightmare. What should I do? Drowned Out in Downtown

Dear “Drowned”

My friend, I can empathize with this problem. I, too, have lived in a building with thin walls and noisy neighbors. I tried being understanding and wearing earbuds to drown out the music. However, you work from home and require quiet to work. The good news is that when you live in a high-rise apartment building, you can always call management to handle any of these issues. Explain in a calm and professional manner what you’re experiencing, and allow them to address the sound issue for you. Good luck.

-Ms. Price
