I was forwarded this recipe from my Aunt and don't know where it originated, but it is WAY too good not to share. Key Lime cake...it is a moist cake that tastes just like the pie, but if you're like me and prefer cakes over pies, this is perfection!
1 box lemon cake mix
1 1/3 c. vegetable oil
4 eggs
One 3oz. package of lime flavored gelatin mix
3/4 c. orange juice
Mix all together and pour into a 13x9 pan.
Bake according to instructions on cake box.
Frosting
1/2 c. butter (1 stick)
One 8oz. package cream cheese
3 tbsp. fresh lime juice
4 c. confectioners sugar
In a large bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese til fluffy...add the lime juice and beat together, then add the confectioners sugar and beat.
(This is A LOT of frosting...if you are a frosting lover, this will be great, but I use about 2/3 of it and that's good for me)
So so good...
Enjoy!

Made this today for my husbands birthday cake to take over to his Air Force squadron. It was a HUGE hit! There was none left by the end.
I just whipped one together and threw it in the oven. I cant wait to try it. I have some left over keylime custard that I used to fill cupcakes not to long ago that I am going to attempt to blend with cream cheese for my topping. Thanks for the great key lime recipe.
I love lime flavored foods and I was so excited to try this recipe! It's so quick & easy to make and SO worth it.
I made this as cupcakes and substituted orange juice in the frosting for the lime juice. They were absolutely fantastic, I brought them to work and everyone raved about them! Thanks for the great recipe, definitely keeping this one!
