Key Lime Cake
"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."

Pretty much followed the recipe except I put it into a 13 x 9 inch pan so I could take it to a church picnic. It was delicious, and I'll make it again. -
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! -
My coworkers loved it. -
Good and easy! The key limes took the most time but it turned out great!

Good, good, good! I tinted mine cake mix green, glaze, too. I did add about 1/2 cup more powdered sugar only because I like a thick glaze. Luvin' Texas

I made this cake for my mom's birthday. Very good cake, very moist, with nice lime flavor. I made a 9 x 13 inch cake. I didn't make the glaze since I didn't have enough lime juice, but used a cream cheese frosting instead.
