Delicious poundcake with lime and a tangy creamcheese frosting on top.  The basic pound cake recipe is the same I used for my sweet cherry cake and comes from The hummingbird bakery cookbook.

10 small ones or one large
7 oz soft butter
7 oz all-purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
7 oz granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 fl oz sour cream
1 lime, zest and juice

Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease a loaf tin with butter and dust with flour.
Using a hand held whisk or a kitchen aid with paddle attachment beat butter and sugaruntil light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at the time. Beat well after each egg.Then add vanilla, 3/4 of the lime zest and 2 tbsp lime juice. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together and add to the egg mixture in two batches.Add the sour cream.   Pour batter into the tins. Bake for 35-40 min until sponge is firm and a inserted skewer comes out clean.
