Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F and coat two small loaf pans with non-stick baking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, melted butter, egg, key lime juice, key lime zest and gel food coloring (if using).
- Divide the batter between the two pans. Gently tap the pans on the countertop to help release any air bubbles in the batter.
- Place the loaf pans onto a large baking sheet and into the oven to bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes before flipping the bread out of the pans.
To Make the Glaze
- Place the cooled pound cake loaves on a wire rack, with a baking sheet underneath to catch any drips.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lime juice and lime zest until combined and smooth.
- Slowly pour the glaze over the two cakes.
- Allow to set before cutting and serving.
Notes
- Nutrition information is provided as an estimate only.
- Prep Tips:
- Yield - Makes 2 small mini loafs.
- Pan Size - We used two half loaf pans for this recipe. Either 6 in x 3.5 in or 5.75 in x 3 in size would work. If you want to bake this in one large loaf pan, you'll likely need to increase the baking time slightly. Use a toothpick to check for doneness.
- Storage - Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. This cake can also be frozen in a freezer bag or container, for up to 2 months.
