Step-by-Step Instructions for Key Lime Pound Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or two 9-inch loaf pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the white sugar, unsalted butter, and shortening. Cream on medium speed for about 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the large eggs one at a time, followed by the heavy cream, freshly squeezed Key lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) and bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack.
- Prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, Key lime juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and allow it to set before slicing.

Notes
