Key Lime Cake Recipe
{Pin This}
This is a fun, green cake. It is pretty sweet and lime-y too. I think it would go well with some plain vanilla ice cream or maybe try it with some fresh strawberries.
For the glaze:
For the icing:
Remove the first cake from its pan, discard the wax paper, and spread a layer of icing on top of the cake. Remove and stack the second cake (without wax paper) on top of the first and spread a layer of icing on it. Stack the third cake and spread a layer of icing on the top. Use the remaining icing to cover the sides of the cake. Store the cake in the refrigerator to keep the icing firm.

That cake look kind of gross, but I love key lime anything, so it probably taste amazing. Thanks for the recipe!
Sorry, I couldn’t get a better picture! Maybe that would’ve helped. If you really like lime stuff, then you will probably like it!
This Florida girl says that’s no “key” lime cake–just lime cake. Looks tasty but there’s not a key lime to be found there. It’s hard to move outside of Florida where key lime pies are bright green and taste like lime Jello. If you’ve never had a real key lime pie, you’re missing out!
You’re right, I only used regular limes and not key limes. It isn’t easy to find key limes around here. It is still a fun cake though. 😉
Oh…. you are SO right! Nothing like a REAL key lime pie. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it ;)!
I might have to make this into cupcakes! 🙂
Yum,! I love everything and anything KeyLime! Cnat wait to try it! thanks for the great recipe!
Which frosting recipe did you use?
I used the cream cheese frosting recipe above and did not use food coloring in it. 🙂
