Key Lime Cake Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Prepare cake as directed on box in layers or 9 x 13 pan.
  • Cool cake completely.
  • Cut cake in layers in half horizontally.
  • Whip cream till stiff.
  • In separate bowl, stir together Eagle Brand milk and lime juice.
  • Fold into whipped cream.
  • Frost between layers and on sides of cake.
  • May garnish top with a twisted slice of lime.
  • Refrigerate 6 to 8 hours before serving.
  • Hints.
  • She fixed the cake in layers, but she has had it in a 9 x 13 pan too.
  • The 9 x 13 pan looked great on a pretty party tray.
  • There was plenty of frosting, so you can ice the layers good.
  • You can use the egg white version on the cake mix as well.
  • It takes more than 5 small limes to make enough juice so you need to have several extra limes to make enough juice.
  • she said the fresh limes tasted better than the bottled juice.
