This is the first pound cake I ever made. Didn't come out as moist as I'd hoped, but it was probably overcooked a bit. Also, I used fresh key limes since I couldn't find Floriddean brand (or any other brand) key lime juice. -
My son picked this as the dessert he wanted for Thanksgiving and he's eaten almost the whole cake by himself. Very good cake...excellent texture....thanks for a good recipe. -
We increased the amount of lime juice to 2 tbsps. Everybody enjoyed it
