I have a question.... I just made this but into cupcakes. They are cooling so I have not yet tried these. It calls for 1 1/3 oz. of lime jello. Is that really the amount? Mine are NOT green at all! Or is it the 3 oz packet of Jello? Someone is asking for these for their wedding and i'm doing a trial run and not real sure of the color they are! They look like yellow cake :(

I live in Alabama, too, and I LOVE THIS RECIPE. I've never had it in a 9x13 pan, but I've eaten it as a layer cake and I've baked it as a layer cake and as cupcakes, which turn out really, really yummy. I always use Nellie & Joe's Key West Lime Juice and Simply Orange orange juice...and I get rave reviews every time. If you like key lime pie, give this a try!
