Ingredients

1 box of lemon cake mix

1 cup water

3/4 cup of vegetable oil

4 eggs

4 TB keylime juice (or lemon juice or regular lime juice)

Icing Ingredients

2 cups of powdered sugar

1/3 cup of keylime juice

Optional: 2 TB Keylime zest (grated rind)

Directions

*I make mine in a 13x9 inch pan covered in Reynold's Non-Stick Aluminum. You can use a bundt or angelfood pan.

In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, eggs, oil and the water until well-blended.

Add 4 TB of juice

Bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees until cake is golden brown and firm.

Remove cake from oven and cool.

Mix the powdered sugar with the lime or lemon juice until it is smooth and pourable. (You can add your zest at this time.)

Poke holes over the cake and pour the icing over and let the icing set for a good hour or serve! (I let the cake sit on my countertop for a few hours before serving as its great at room temperature.)

This is a really nicely glazed cake and just wonderful for any spring or summertime events. It also makes great cupcakes whic hare perfect for Mother's Day brunches.
