INSTRUCTIONS

           DIRECTIONS:
To make cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush the inside of an
8-inch (6-cup) bundt or a 9-inch (8-cup) spring form tube pan with
margarine or oil or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. In  a
small mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. In  a
large mixing bowl, beat margarine (or butter and oil) with electric
beaters until softened and blended. Gradually add sugar and beat  until
well blended. Gradually beat in eggs. Beat in lime zest and  juice.
Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, alternatively stir the  dry
ingredients and buttermilk into the egg mixture, beginning and  ending
with the dry ingredients. Spoon the mixture into the prepared  pan and
bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted  into the
center comes out clean and the cake starts to pull away from  the sides
of the pan. Loosen edges and invert onto a wire rack set  over a plate.
To make syrup: In a small bowl, whisk together  confectioners' sugar
and lime juice. While the cake is still warm,  poke holes in it using a
skewer or cake tester. Slowly spoon the lime  syrup over the cake,
spooning any juice that accumulates on the plate  below over the cake.
(The cake can be prepared ahead and stored,  covered, in the
refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Bring to room  temperature before
serving.) Just before serving, sift a little  confectioners' sugar over
the cake. Serves 8.  345 calories per serving: 10 grams fat, 259 mg

with its thorny  branches, produces yellow limes that resemble small
lemons. Since Key  limes can be expensive and are not always easy to
find, Persian  (green) limes or bottled Key lime juice from the local
grocery store  can be substituted.  Source: Eating Well Magazine -
