Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice

  2. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh limes for juice and zest. You can substitute lemon for lime or add coconut flakes for variation.
