This bread is AWESOME! I use fresh limes but you can use the bottled juice if you prefer, it does not have to be "key Lime". Wonderful with a nice cup of hot tea or coffee.

How To Make key lime bread

  • Step 4
    Divide batter into 2 bread pans that have been sprayed with non stick spray ( I use Pam baking spray) Bake in preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until golden brown and a tooth pick comes clean. I let mine cool for about 10 minutes in the pans then invert on to my cooling rack.
