Key Lime is one of those things you either love it or you don’t. Thankfully I fall into the category of people who love it! I also love pound cakes. Put them together and a beautiful baby is born. It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Key Lime Pound Cake. I’m not really a baker, but pound cakes are my go-to. They are very forgiving and it’s pretty difficult to mess up. So the next step, naturally, is creating your favorite flavors in a pound cake. I think that this is very likely my favorite flavored pound cake. But, I can’t say that with certainty, because I’m likely to try something tomorrow and then I’ll be in a pickle trying to decide which one I like most. I take my pound cakes very seriously! Anyway, I’ve had lost of requests for this recipe, so here it is!
