Key Lime Cake

NoSpringChicken's Note:

Subtle yet distinctive, the difference between Key Lime juice and regular lime juice comes through in this delicious cake. Because of its pale green color, this cake resembles a lemon cake...unless you add a few drops of green food color to the cake or glaze! The recipe came from a local paper years ago. My mile high altitude requires a longer cooking time, so you may have to adjust the timing on this.

Great recipe! It wasn't hard to decide whether or not to give this recipe a 5-Star rating. It was sweet and tart. It had a slight sour taste in the icing, but was great! Definitely will make again!
