I love this pound cake recipe – I add extra lime juice and zest. Everyone I make it for loves it. It’s soft, moist, and great flavor. It also freezes well.

Followed recipe exactly, except I don’t feed anyone shortening, so I used all butter. As far as being a pound cake, it got 5 stars. It was everything a pound cake should be. As for the key lime flavor …. everyone loved the icing, but thought the cake was too mild. I’m not sure how to give it a more limy taste without ruining the ingredient balance.

I’ve not made this yet, but was wondering if I could substitute bottled Nelli & Joe’s bottled key lime juice instead of fresh lime juice? Thank you!

I want to make 1 large cake – I have both a bundt and a tube pan, which one should I use? Thank you!

I have made this cake at least 10 times and it always falls about an inch while cooling. I bake pound cakes all the time and they never fall just this one. I follow the recipe exactly every time, and have checked the temp of my oven and everything checks out. What am I doing wrong?

In reply to Audrey. Should the cake cool before icing?

Excellent cake, used buttermilk instead of milk. Good texture. Loved the icing.
