Olive Oil Cake vs. Regular Cake

Key Limes vs. Regular Limes
Key limes are smaller, more acidic and yield less juice than a regular lime. In this recipe you can also use bottled Key Lime Juice.
Suggested Equipment
Ingredients Needed

Milk: I used whole milk, but can use reduced fat or alternative milk products like almond or soy.
All Purpose Flour
Baking Powder
Salt
Cooking Spray
Confectioners Sugar: Also known as 10-X or Powdered Sugar.
How do you make Key Lime Olive Oil Cake?
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F; then coat the inside of a bundt pan with cooking spray.
Add the sugar and lime zest to the blender and pulse for 30 seconds. Add the lime juice, eggs, olive oil and milk; then blend until smooth.
Next, add the flour, baking powder and salt and pulse for 1 minute until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the greased bundt pan and bake for 30 minutes or until the top springs back.
Allow the cake to cool for 5 minutes; then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling completely. While the cake is cooling, combine the confectioners sugar and key lime juice. Mix well until the glaze is smooth; then drizzle on top of the cooled bundt cake.
