Key Lime Bundt Cake

Ingredients 

3 cups of flour - I used cake flour

2 cups sugar  

3 eggs

1 container key lime flavor yogurt or lemon flavor instant pudding

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 cup of vegetable oil

2 teaspoon  key lime lime zest 

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 - 3 oz box of  lime jello


Glaze Ingredients

1 1/4 cup confectioners sugar

 3 tablespoons of milk

 1 tablespoon of key lime juice

 Key lime zest

*Optional - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


In mixing bowl add the powered sugar, and stir in milk, and key lime juice. Add more milk for a thinner glaze.  Add more key lime juice for a more tart flavor glaze.





Blend eggs, sugar, oil, yogurt & mix well. Fold in flour, jello, baking soda, lime juice, and grate in the key lime zest. Mix well on low speed, or hand mix. 

When well mixed. Spray a bundt pan with baking spray to ensure the cake will come out easily after baking. Pour cake mix into pan. I take the pan and tap it on the counter to allow the air bubbles to escape. Bake at 350 for at least 40-45 minutes. You might prefer to cook a little longer than usual cakes. This is a very moist cake. You will need to check this during the last 10 minutes of baking time. 

                                               
Allow cake to cool.  Hold your hand over the pan, and turn over on a plate. or cake dish. Tap the cake pan with a wooden spoon to ease the cake out of the pan. It should come out in one piece, evenly. If you feel it's not going to come out easily, turn back over and run a butter knife around the edges of the cake to separate it from the bundt pan. Drizzle the glaze over the Key Lime Bundt Cake. As much as you desire. Follow with grating fresh key lime zest over the glaze. It will be a sweet, tangy, zesty cake. Delicious!

  1. I think that limes are SO refreshing.
    They are underused in recipes, I think.
    Keep going, you are doing great.
