Key Lime Cake

Posted by Alana on

I had a big container of sour cream, I had key limes, and I had a dinner party I needed to bring a dessert to. It was an intimate dinner party for 4, so I thought there would be leftovers of this Key Lime Cake, but I ended up having to make another one the next day so we could have more to eat at home. Works with regular limes too if you don’t happen to have key limes.

Allow to cool for 20 minutes before removing from the bundt pan. While the cake is cooling, stir together the sour cream, powdered sugar, and key lime juice until smooth. Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over it.
