Ingredients

Units Scale

For the cake:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup key lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon key lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the glaze:

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons key lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon key lime zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with sour cream, beginning and ending with flour.
  4. Add lime flavor: Stir in the key lime juice, zest, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake: Bake for 70–80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Make the glaze: For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, key lime juice, and zest until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake before serving.

Notes

  • For extra lime flavor, poke small holes in the warm cake and drizzle some glaze inside before topping.
  • This cake keeps well covered at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
