Ingredients
Scale
Cake
All-purpose flour for the pan
1 (15.25-ounce) box white or french vanilla cake mix
1 cup lime yogurt or sour cream
1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon grated lime zest plus 1 tablespoon lime juice
Glaze
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons grated lime zest plus 1/4 cup lime juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan.
For the cake: Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cake mix, yogurt, oil, eggs, and lime zest and juice on low speed for 1 minute. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Pour the batter into the Bundt pan.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack and let cool completely.
For the glaze: In a large bowl, beat the confectioners’ sugar, cream cheese, butter, and lime zest and juice until it’s smooth and pourable, but thick.
Transfer the cake to a serving plate and drizzle the glaze over the cake. Slice and serve.
