Instructions to make Key Lime Pound Cake:

  3. Bake at 325° for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 to 15 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack.
  4. Prepare Key Lime Glaze, and immediately brush over top and sides of cake. Cool completely (about 1 hour).
  5. Glaze
  6. Whisk together powdered sugar, fresh Key lime juice, and vanilla until smooth. Use immediately.

With some lime zest in the cake batter, Key lime juice in the batter and icing, this tight crumbed, citrus laden cake was a heavenly, very pale green (if you use your imagination!) dessert. The cake has a mild key lime flavor, but the tart glaze gives it a great burst of lime flavor. It's a sweet, moist pound cake, but not quite as dense as most pound cakes, which made it feel like you're eating a little lighter. This Key Lime Cake recipe is a perfect balance of sweet and tart just like a key lime pie! Each moist and tender yet dense bite of this pound cake is packed with citrus flavor then topped with a delicious cream cheese glaze.
