Key Lime Cake

Recipe #72832 | 50 min | 10 min prep | add private note

By: NoSpringChicken

Subtle yet distinctive, the difference between Key Lime juice and regular lime juice comes through in this delicious cake. Because of its pale green color, this cake resembles a lemon cake...unless you add a few drops of green food color to the cake or glaze! The recipe came from a local paper years ago. My mile high altitude requires a longer cooking time, so you may have to adjust the timing on this.

SERVES 16 , 1 cake (change servings and units)

    Good, good, good! I tinted mine cake mix green, glaze, too. I did add about 1/2 cup more powdered sugar only because I like a thick glaze. Luvin' Texas

    Wow! This cake has a fabulous lemon/lime flavor. The glaze gave it even more of a citrus kick. I made it for a family Memorial Day picnic and it received many compliments. I made it healthier by using Egg Beaters and applesauce in place of the oil. I did add 3 drops of green food coloring to the batter, which made it a perfect green color. I can't wait to make this one again!

    Oh, my goodness! This is sooo tastey! I couldn't find Key Lime juice so I had to just use regular lime juice (I live near a huge Giant Eagle, you think they'd have it!!) The cake is so moist and just... YUMMY! The real test though is tomorrow when my in-laws come and they are picky! But who cares about them!!! Thanks for posting this!
