The Perfect Lime Pound Cake

I don't normally post recipes on here... haha in fact never but I think I am going to start posting a couple of winners.

My husband lovesss pound cake and he lovesss anything lemon, lime, key lime, etc. On our street we have a lime tree that has been dropping limes like crazy. What a perfect excuse to make a whole assortment of Citrus Desserts. I love a very dense, buttery pound cake and the citrus flavoring adds the perfect extra twist.

Southern Living Pound Cake

• 1 1/2 cups butter
• 6 eggs (ha, see I love a dense pound cake!)
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 cups white sugar 
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons squeezed lime juice              

1. Combined the dry ingredients
2. Add in the butter... and then the eggs one at a time. Then lime juice!
3. Bake at 300 F for about an hour! Or Golden Brown outside.

For the glaze I just juiced 3 limes and mixed in 4 cups of powdered sugar. Easy peasy. 

I prefer using a Bundt pan but a loaf would be great too!
