How to make it
- Place cake mix into mixing bowl mix slowly for one minute. Add
- water and oil continuing to mix slowly.
- Add room temp eggs one at a time and mixing well before adding
- another.
- Add lime juice slowly. If making this cake for St. Patrick’s Day or you just want that lime hue. Add a few drops at a time until you get the desired shade.
- Place mixed batter into a greased floured 9x13 pan. Baking at 350 for 50 minutes, Or until cake tests done.
- When cake is done and while cake is still warm. Maybe out of the oven 5 to 10 minutes. Pour glaze over cake.
- Leaving cake in pan frost with cream cheese icing.
- Combine ingredients. Blend to make creamy and smooth. I start by using only half a box of powdered sugar until you get the desired sweetness you are looking for. I also add more or less lime juice until I get the right tasting balance.
