Prepare to be enchanted by this incredible lime bundt cake! It’s an absolute dream for any citrus enthusiast, delivering a harmonious blend of light, zesty flavor and a luxurious, tangy cream cheese frosting.

Why This Zesty Lime Bundt Cake is a Must-Try
There’s something truly special about a dessert that can instantly lift your spirits, and this lime bundt cake does exactly that. For me, January can often feel a little bleak, but my husband’s birthday, nestled right in the middle of the month, always brings a much-needed splash of joy and brightness. As a dedicated fan of all things lime, he consistently requests a refreshingly bright dessert to mark his special day, and this cake never disappoints.
Earlier this week, I whipped up this fantastic lime bundt cake for him, and it was a resounding success! This particular recipe had been tucked away in the archives since 2010, and I’m so thrilled to re-share it with you today because it’s truly a winner. What makes this lime bundt cake so exceptional is its ingenious layering of lime flavor. It’s essentially a classic cream cheese pound cake, but infused with not one, not two, but three distinct levels of vibrant lime. The delicate tang of lime zest is baked right into the cake batter, creating an aromatic foundation. After the cake emerges from the oven, a luscious lime syrup is generously poured over it, infusing every crevice with even more intense flavor and ensuring an incredibly moist texture. Finally, a rich and tangy lime cream cheese frosting provides the perfect crowning glory, tying all the citrusy elements together.
