About 6 years ago, my husband and I took a cruise to the Bahamas. One of our stops was in Key West, Florida. It was then that I had my first bite of Key Lime Pie. It was tart, sweet and absolutely heavenly! I made an easy and quick version of the Key Lime Pie that you can check out if you are interested :)

This bundt cake was inspired after the delicious key lime pie that so many of us love and adore!

The flavors are all there and infused into each bite of this moist and delicious bundt cake.

    That frosting looks incredible! You are an expert froster! And, really, the entire cake sounds so, so good! Love that you put it in bundt cake form too - so fun :)

    Hi! I made this yesterday. It is delicious and the icing is amazing! Some of my coworkers ate it for breakfast this morning. I think it would also work well in a 9x13 pan. Next time I'll post a pic.
    Thanks!

    Which direction did you pipe the frosting to get it to look so beautiful? Inside to outside or vice-versa?

    Did you use a piping tip for the frosting. It is just so smooth. It looks so beautiful.

    1. Chef in Training

      Thank you! no, I actually didn't. I just put it in a ziplock bag and cut the corner off and piped it that way. You totally could use a frosting tip if you would like though :)

    Key Limes are hard to get in my area...has anyone use fresh lime juice and zest>

    1. Mary

      I made the cake this weekend! It was delicious and moist. Complete success! I admit, I used a shortcut for the frosting: 1 can of cream cheese frosting with 3 tablespoons of key lime juice.

    I do not care for key lime pie at all, BUT I absolutely LOVE this key lime bundt cake!! It is so moist and delicious with that hint of key lime. The icing is out of this world also! Definitely a keeper! I even wrote the recipe on a recipe card to file in my box because I didn’t want to lose it from the website.

    Hi Nikki, your cake looks fabulous. Can you tell me how you achieved the icing. Did you use a particular nozzle and can you let me know which nozzle you used and I’ll comment when I make this cake. Kind regards, Jo

    Very moist cake. Not much lime flavor. Next time I will add lime zest. Didn’t make the cream cheese icing because it was too hot. Used a white icing glaze instead.
