1
Prepare the Batter
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix until crumbly.
2
Add Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, lime zest, lime juice, and milk. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
3
Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
4
Cool the Cake
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
