Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 ⅓ cups white granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup butter softened to room temperature
  • 2 ¾ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ¾ cups buttermilk
  • ¼ cup lime juice (fresh or bottled)
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest (you'll need to zest about 2 medium limes)

Simple glaze

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream or milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Grease bundt pan with non-stick baking spray.
  • Combine dry ingredients in a bowl, whisk and set aside.
  • In another bowl combine the eggs, sugar, and butter. Mix until light and fluffy and it has doubled in size (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Add vanilla and sour cream to the butter mixture and mix on low until just combined. Add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk and mix just until combined.
  • Add the lime juice and mix the batter on medium until creamy, scraping the sides before completing mixing. Do not overmix.
  • Fold in lime zest until well incorporated. Pour into the greased bundt pan. Drop the pan lightly on a hard surface 1 or 2 times to remove air pockets.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes. Toothpick should come out clean.
  • Allow to cool on wire rack for about 10 minutes before removing from the pan and placing on the wire rack to cool completely.
  • To make the glaze, use a fork to stir all of the ingredients together until smooth and then drizzle it over the cake.
