If you’ve been around here long enough, you’ll know that we love key limes. While the first thing that springs to mind is certainly the famous key lime pie, this taste can shine in a variety of other dishes. Consider this delicious Key Lime Butter Cake. This simple cake is packed with zest and topped with a creamy cream cheese layer that will have you falling in love from the first taste.

Let’s see how it’s manufactured! You’ll begin with the foundation cake layer, a simple but buttery batter made from kitchen staples and flavored with lime zest and juice. Then comes the cream layer! Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add the powdered sugar, egg, and another large teaspoon of lime zest.

Pour the cream layer over the batter and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the top begins to turn brown. Key limes are seasonal fruit, but with the ease of bottled key lime juice, you may enjoy this delight all year. Give the dish a try for your next special event; we’re confident you’ll enjoy it as much as we do!
