You read that right. Cake. My aunt and cousin celebrated their birthdays this last week and both requested Key Lime something. My aunt had to be difficult and request a cake. Not the pie I was already eating in my head. But? It wasn't my birthday, so I started researching a Key Lime cake recipe. Something I've never even heard of. And? She didn't want the traditional cream cheese frosting, she wanted a glaze.
Oh. Geez.
What you need for the cake:
- 1 package lemon cake mix
- 3/4 cups vegetable oil
- 5 eggs
- 1 (3 ounce) package lime flavored gelatin mix
- 3/4 cup orange juice
- What you need for the glaze:
- 3 tablespoons of key lime juice and a little zest
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- If you'd rather a sweet flavor than a tart, add a bit of milk and not so much lime juice.
- What you do:
- Spray a 13X9 dish. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all of the cake ingredients in a large bowl or stand mixer. Mix for 2 minutes. Bake according to directions on cake mix box. After the cake has cooled a couple of hours, mix up the glaze and drizzle over top of the cake.
- Serve with milk. It is definitely different, but good! I'll make it again.
