Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan.
- In a large bowl, beat 1 cup of butter, shortening and 2 cups of sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, blending each one thoroughly.
- Combine the flour and baking powder, stir into the batter
- Alternating with the milk, vanilla and 1/2 cup of key lime juice.
- Pour into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the crown of the cake comes out clean, about 90 minutes.
- While the cake is baking, make the glaze in a small bowl.
- Stir together 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter and key lime juice.
- When the cake is done, invert it onto a wire rack while still warm, but not straight out of the oven. Poke several times with a skewer or toothpick. Pour the glaze over the warm cake allowing it to seep into the holes. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
