Lime Pound Cake Recipe

I love pound cakes and this one is no exception. They get better the second day almost always and have a wonderful dense texture. In the case of this lime pound cake by the second day it have fully developed the lime flavor I was looking for. This particular cake also has sour cream in it so it is a really moist cake. I baked this cake for my friend Michele’s first blogiversary over at Flavor Mosaic! We are celebrating by giving away a Kitchen Aid Mixer! Be sure to come enter… you can’t win it if you don’t!

I should of used a larger bread pan, use your biggest one because I still had enough batter to make 5 cupcakes after filling up my bread pan. Now that isn’t a bad thing, it gave me some to sample while waiting for the cake to develop it’s flavor. There was enough frosting/glaze left to do the cupcakes too.
