Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.

2. Cream Butter and Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

3. Add Sugar: Gradually add the granulated sugar, beating until light and fluffy.

4. Incorporate Eggs: Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

7. Add Flavors: Stir in the key lime juice, key lime zest, vanilla extract, and green food coloring if using.

8. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top. Bake for 75-85 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Glaze:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, key lime juice, milk or cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.

2. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
