You may have heard of a key lime pie, but how about a key lime cake? TeamSugar member LaylaCams shared her favorite version over a year ago, but recently made it again and took pics for us!

She says it tastes even better than a key lime pie, and the amazing color would be great at a Spring-themed party. This cake is easy and fail proof — it's really a jazzed-up box mix — and comes together in a snap. Similar to the strawberry shortcake I made yesterday, this recipe's secret ingredient is jello.

To get the recipe — thanks for sharing LaylaCams! — and make one for yourself, read more.

    Key lime pie is my favorite dessert in the world, so not sure if anything can top it for me. But this looks like it might be a close 2nd!!! Definitely going to be making this.

    I'm gonna have to disagree with all of the other posters coming before me. That thing looks gross. It's the color of avocado, which I just can't imagine in cake form. It just looks so disturbing. Ew!

    I can't believe that I found this cake! I am soooooo excited! My hubby's boss made this cake for a party and I have been dreaming of it since, it is the best cake ever, hands down! I can't believe that I found the exact cake, it is so delicious. I will be making it tonight.
