Key Lime Bundt Cake #SpringSweetsWeek

Sharing is caring!

This Key Lime Bundt Cake screams Spring to me! Beautiful bright green colors and that amazing tart lime taste in a sweet bundt cake. It's the perfect way to celebrate the first day of Spring.

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SpringSweetsWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to help in the creation of the #SpringSweetsWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.

Welcome to #SpringSweetsWeek 2022 hosted by Heather from Hezzi-D's Books and Cooks!   Flowers are starting to bloom, the weather is getting warmer, and we're celebrating with spring sweets and a fun giveaway!    

This year 22 food bloggers from around the country are sharing over 75 sweet recipes that are perfect for spring.  So say bye-bye to the snow and cold weather and get ready to enjoy amazing spring treats like cupcakes, cookies, pies, dessert boards, and even a few beverages!    

Our #SpringSweetsWeek sponsors are helping us give away some great prizes.   Thank you to Dixie CrystalsMelissa's ProduceAnolonSweets & TreatsTaylor and Colledge, and Nairn's for your generosity.   We have an incredible giveaway with six amazing prizes and would love it if you would take a moment to read about it and the prizes that you can win.

Lime desserts have always been a favorite of mine. The combination of sweet and tart is truly amazing and can be used in so many different ways. We use lime in a lot of our non-alcoholic beverage drinks and many desserts. One of my favorites is the Mojito Cupcakes I made a couple of years ago.

What Are Key Limes?

For this recipe, I was provided key limes in my box of produce from Melissa's produce.

Key lime is a hybrid citrus fruit that is green when picked and yellow when ripe. When you compare a regular lime to key lime, there are some differences. For one, key limes are smaller, more acidic, and have a stronger citrus aroma. The juice is also sweeter than regular limes. That is why they usually use key limes in more dessert-type dishes.

Other sponsors I used in this recipe are Dixie Crystals Sugar. The powdered sugar glaze on top is what really sets this cake over the top.

This cake is moist and made from scratch which is the perfect combination of sweet and tart.
