Key Lime Cake

Sometimes a cake is all you really want or crave. A soft moist cake full of flavor and topped with a really, really good frosting. This is that cake. Perfect for a summer afternoon. This Key Lime Cake is easy to make and tastes yummy. It is kid and adult approved.

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Step 2:

Add cake mix and gelatin mix to a medium bowl

Step 3:

Add the ingredients on the back of the cake mix box and lime juice. Beat until combined.

Step 4:

Pour into a 13 x 9 cake pan. My oven is small, shall we say it’s more like an Easy Bake oven, so this is the largest size pan my oven can hold. If you have a normal size oven, this cake works great in a 11 x 16 pan. Bake for 20 -22 minutes until cake springs back when touched or a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the cake cool.

Step 5:

While the cake is cooling prepare the frosting. Cream the cream cheese and butter. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, lime juice, lime zest and milk. Beat until smooth.
