Ingredients

  • 10 ounces (284g) unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons (9-10g) baking powder
  • 1 14-ounce can (396g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon (203g) grated nutmeg optional optional
  • 2-3 tablespoons (12g) lime zest

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F. Grease a 10-inch bundt pan generously with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Cream the butter and sugar at high speed in a stand mixture until fluffy and starts looking white, about 3 minutes. Add the condensed milk and beat for another minute.
  • Stir in the eggs, one at a time, beating the mixture well between each addition. Sift the flour and baking powder into the batter, and then add the zest, lime juice, nutmeg, and vanilla extract.
  • Stir until everything is thoroughly combined, scraping down the sides of the mixing bowl as you mix.
  • Pour the batter into the greased cake pan. Tap it on your work surface to eliminate air bubbles.
  • Bake at 325℉ (160℃) until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean (45–50 minutes). Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool.
  • Sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar and serve it with whipped cream and strawberries.

Notes

  • Measure your flour the right way. Gently spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge instead of scooping it directly from the bag. That prevents over-packing, which leads to too much flour and a dry cake. Another way to measure is with a kitchen scale.
  • Cream butter and sugar well until fluffy. This step is crucial for incorporating air for a good rise and tender crumb.
  • Please don't overmix the batter. After adding the flour, mix just until combined because overmixing can cause the cake to be dense and tough.
  • Please remember that the nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary significantly based on the products used in the recipe.
