Prepare a 12-cup Bundt cake pan by spraying generously with baking spray.
Lime Filling
Using a handheld or stand mixer, mix the cream cheese on medium speed until smooth. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl as needed.

½ Cup Granulated Sugar, 1 Large Egg, 2 teaspoons Lime juice, 1 Tablespoon Lime zest
Cake Batter
In a large bowl combine flour, lime zest, baking powder and salt. Set bowl aside for later.
3 Cups All-purpose flour (sifted), 2 ½ teaspoons Baking powder, 1 Tablespoon Lime zest, 1 teaspoon Salt
Using a handheld or stand mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (approximately 2 minutes).

Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared Bundt cake pan. Spread evenly and make a small 'well' in the center using a dinner spoon.
Pipe or spoon the filling into the well you just created in the cake batter.
Add remaining cake batter and smooth the top.
Bake for 50 - 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes and flip the cake over onto a cooling rack. Remove cake pan and allow to cool for another hour. After cooling, move the cake onto a serving platter.
