Ingredients:
2 cups butter, softened
2-1/2 cups sugar
6 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons grated key lime zest
2 tablespoons Key lime juice
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup 2% milk
FROSTING:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon grated key lime zest
1 tablespoon Key lime juice
3-3/4 cups confectioners’ sugar
Lime slices
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 10-in. fluted tube pan. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lime zest, vanilla and lime juice. Add flour alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Transfer to prepared pan.
