Easy Key Lime Pound Cake Recipe

  • Author: Jasmine
  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature

  • ½ cup (120ml) sour cream

  • ¼ cup (60ml) key lime juice (freshly squeezed is best)

  • 1 tablespoon key lime zest

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar

  • 2–3 tablespoons key lime juice

  • 1 teaspoon key lime zest (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, then dust it with flour to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).

Step 4: Add Eggs and Wet Ingredients

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Mix in the sour cream, key lime juice, key lime zest, and vanilla extract.

Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6: Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool and Glaze

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack. Once completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.
