Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated.

Step 4

Mix in the key lime juice and key lime zest until combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.

Step 11

Gradually add the powdered sugar, key lime juice, and key lime zest, and beat until smooth and well combined.

Step 12

Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the cream cheese icing over the top of the cake.
