Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a Bundt pan.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in lime zest and vanilla extract.
Combine buttermilk and lime juice in another bowl. Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk mixture until just combined.
Pour batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
For the glaze, beat cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar, lime juice, and vanilla extract until creamy.
Once cooled completely, drizzle glaze over the cake.
