Let me introduce myself, I am Caitlin you know the one who used to do Cooking with Caitlin? Well, I am back to make this Key Lime Pound Cake Recipe! I wish I could give you a good excuse but I don’t have one…

Well today I don’t have any school and its getting close to St Patrick’s day so I thought why not do a recipe? I looked on Pinterest and found this yummy looking bundt cake recipe.

I will be baking a Lemon Lime Pound Cake Recipe. I have never tried anything like that before.

So I decided to do the recipe. My great grandmother has a famous pound cake recipe but I have not tried that one on my own yet.

 

 

 

Then, a genius idea (at that time) came to my head. Why not make a video like one of my idol, Bethany Mota? Well, I asked my mom and she said sure as long as I edit the video.

Well, it only went downhill from there. I won’t give you the details but there was some yelling involved…. So back to the recipe.

The recipe was challenging because I never tried something like that before and that I was trying to film too.

Without further ado here is the recipe for Key Lime Pound Cake

TIPS TO CREAM BUTTER:

 

It is very important to cream your butter when making a pound cake recipe. It is easiest to use room temperature butter.

 

 

 

 

Add the flour slowly so you don’t have a big mess on your hands.

Food coloring, unfortunately.  I think this is the perfect color green, I did not want to add too much food coloring.

WHAT FROSTING IS GOOD FOR A KEY LIME POUND CAKE?

Before adding any topping, be sure the cake is cooled. Remove from oven and let rest in pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto cooling rack to cool completely.

We like to add a simple glaze to our pound cakes.

HOW TO MAKE A KEY LIME GLAZE

Prepare glaze by combining powdered sugar and lime juice to a thick pouring consistency. Drizzle over cooled cake.

Let cake sit for 30 minutes before serving.

 

The glaze is super easy to make that is why I doubled it.

Here is the final pound cake recipe, I used one of mom’s fancier bundt pans.

OUR THOUGHTS ON THIS EASY LIME POUND CAKE FROM SCRATCH

I would definitely try this pound cake recipe again. I really love Key Lime and you could really taste it.

I made one big mistake. I really did over beat the batter.

The glaze was really delicious too. I ended up making another little batch of the frosting to cover up the whole cake.

For decoration, I thought it would be a good idea to add sprinkles on the cake. Sadly, I did not know the frosting would get hard quickly. Never the less, the cake still looked pretty not to mention delicious.
