Key Lime Pound Cake
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the key lime juice and zest.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just blended.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and key lime juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
-
Slice and serve.
