Key lime pie is one of my favorite desserts and I always like to experiment with the basic one. This moist key lime pie Bundt cake is always a good idea especially in the morning with a nice cup of tea or coffee. And this recipe is so delicious that you cannot eat just one slice! Here are the directions:
Ingredients:

- 1 white cake mix (not prepared)
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup sugar

- ½ cup olive oil
- ¾ cup freshly squeezed key lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A few drops of green food color (optional)
For the cream cheese frosting:
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 12-ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Zest of 2 key limes (to garnish)
Instructions:
To make the key lime pie Bundt cake:

- Spread the mixture into a Bundt pan and bake for 35-45 minutes or until a tester inserted in the middle of the cake comes out party clean.
