Cake base:

2½ cups all-purpose flour (or 2 cups almond flour + ½ cup coconut flour for GF/low-carb—you love this!)
1½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened (you love buttery richness!)
1 cup granulated sweetener (monk fruit blend—you love blood sugar friendly!)
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
Zest of 3 limes (you love citrus!)
½ cup fresh lime juice (about 3–4 limes)
¾ cup buttermilk or unsweetened almond milk + 1 tsp vinegar

Lime glaze:

1 cup powdered sweetener (powdered erythritol or monk fruit blend)
2–3 tbsp fresh lime juice
½ tsp lime zest
Optional: 1–2 drops natural green food coloring

Instructions

1. Prep & mix batter:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan (or use nonstick spray).
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Beat butter and sweetener until light (~3 min). Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla and lime zest.
Alternately add dry ingredients and buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix in lime juice last.

2. Bake:

Pour into pan; smooth top. Bake 35–40 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes; invert onto rack.

3. Glaze & serve:

Whisk glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake. Let set 15 minutes before slicing.
