🍳 Instructions:

5. Mix in the sour cream, key lime zest, and key lime juice.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Glaze:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, key lime juice, and heavy cream until smooth.
2. Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing it to run down the sides.
3. Optionally, sprinkle with key lime zest for extra flavor and decoration.
