Remove the mixing bowl from the mixer. Gently pour in the buttermilk, baking powder, tequila, lime zest, lime juice and stir with a spatula until combined. Don't overmix. • Preheat oven to 350F. • Pour batter into greased Bundt pan. • Bake for about 50-60 minutes, check with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. • Let it rest at room temperature, then refrigerate it for 30 minutes before frosting with the cream. For the syrup: * Heat the key lime juice and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool slightly. * When the cake is ready, brush the syrup over the cake, using as much syrup as possible. * If you have leftover syrup, allow the cake to absorb what has been brushed on and then repeat the process. * Allow the cake to cool completely For the frosting: * To prepare the frosting, beat the cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. * Carefully add in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time until well mixed. * Beat in the key lime zest and juice until the frosting is spreadable. Add in more sugar or juice as needed to achieve desired consistency. * Slowly drizzle or pipe the frosting over the cake and allow the frosting to set before serving. #keylimecake #bundtcakerecipe #homemadecake
