This Key Lime Pound Cake is a refreshing and zesty dessert that perfectly balances the flavors of lime with a rich, buttery cake. Light, moist, and delicious, it’s a delightful treat for any occasion, from celebrations to simple everyday indulgences.

Ingredients

Cake:

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Combine the flour and baking soda; gradually add to the creamed mixture alternately with the buttermilk.
  5. Stir in Lime: Stir in the lime juice and lime zest.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • To enhance the lime flavor, drizzle a lime glaze over the cooled cake.
