Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or cooking spray and sprinkle flour over it.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well for about 20 seconds after each addition.
- Stir in fresh key lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract into the egg mixture until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
- Whisk together powdered sugar and key lime juice to create a glaze, then drizzle over the cooled cake.
