Easy Lime Cake

Jump to Recipe

If you love lime desserts, then baking this easy lime cake need to be put on your to do list!

Easy Lime Cake Recipe

Lime desserts are a favorite of mine. Their sweet and tart combo is truly outstanding and can be used in so many different ways. I’ve been loving the ease of bundt cakes lately so I thought a lime bundt cake was in order.

Easy Lime Cake Recipe

This semi-homemade cake starts from a mix, so you can whip it up in no time. Lately I’ve been on a lime yogurt kick, so I used the lime yogurt  in place of sour cream, which I usually use in my bundt cakes.

Either option works, I just prefer that if you are using a yogurt, go with one that still has some fat in it versus the fat free variety.

The ingredients for this cake are so simple. Start with a white cake mix, but you could also use a yellow cake mix, or even a lemon mix. To that you add your yogurt or sour cream, four eggs, oil and some lime zest and lime juice.

If you don’t have a zester, I adore my Kitchen IQ Better Zester, it makes zesting citrus super easy – totally recommend it. Before this one had some crummy zesters before that were really not that effective and were a pain to use, so I’m pretty appreciative of how easy the Kitchen IQ one is.

We finish up with the glaze that goes on top, which might be my favorite part of this cake! It’s so simple, it’s made with powdered sugar, lime juice, butter, a pinch of salt and a splash of milk.

This is super easy. Really you don’t even need to use your mixer, you can just stir it up in a bowl with a whisk. Such a perfect combo of sweet and tart!

    I’ve made this cake so many times. It’s fantastic as lime or lemon. I usually make it with 0% Greek yogurt cause that’s what I have on hand and it’s always delicious. So easy too.

    Cakes going just fine! My question is regarding the beautiful lime green color. I’m usually pretty good at mimicking a color I like, except here! Can you give me the name of the brand and how much? Oh, also wanted to tell you I made homemade white cake mix. I’ll let you know how it goes if you like.

      Unfortunately this post is a few years old, so I can’t say for certain what food coloring I would have used. When I want a lime green I tend to do a drop of green and a drop of yellow though. hope that helps!

    Should this be stored in the refrigerator or left on the counter covered?

      Maria, you can do either. If you won’t consume it all in a few days, I’d probably suggest the fridge.
