Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons grated key lime zest
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup key lime juice

Steps:

  • Cream together the butter or margarine and 3/4 cup sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. Separate the eggs. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, and add the key lime zest.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add these dry ingredients to the egg butter mixture, alternating with 1/2 cup key lime juice.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff, and fold into the batter.
  • Pour batter into a well greased 10 inch Bundt pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), or until cake tests done. Cool cake for 10 minutes in pan, and then invert onto cooling rack.
  • To Make Key Lime Glaze: Combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup key lime juice. Simmer over medium low heat until a light syrup forms; this should take approximately 5 minutes. Use glaze immediately. Pour over still warm cake.

This cake was a bit of a disappointment. The flavor was bland and the cake was dry. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

I've tried many key lime cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cake is dense and moist, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. The key lime frosting is also amazing - it's light and fluffy, and it pairs perfectly with the cake
