  • Notes
  • *Although, the Key Lime Cake in the photo has the green food coloring added,
  • most Key Lime purists will tell you that key limes are not green, they are
  • yellow. It’s up to you.
  • **Buttermilk can be substituted with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar
  • plus enough milk to make 1 cup.
