This was a good cake, but not great. I found it dry and also dense not in a good way. I like one reviewers idea of subbing vanilla yogurt, will try that next time. I will make it again, but with some variations.

Oh this was goooood. I'm so visual, I saw the picture and made mine in a loaf pan as well. This adds about 8-10 minutes to the cooking time. I used light butter and replaced about 1/4 cup of the sugar with Splenda to make this a 2 point treat. The cake itself is much like a pound cake - dense with a soft crumb - with a lovely tanginess from the lime. A definite keeper. Thanks Chabear01!

Delicious cake! Very simple, very quick. I think I'm going to experiment with different types of icings/frostings on this one. I baked it in a loaf pan like pound cake and it turned out great! Left out the peanuts simply because I didn't happen to have any on hand. I love this recipe! Thanks!!
