You may have heard of a key lime pie [1], but how about a key lime cake? TeamSugar member LaylaCams [2] shared her favorite version [3] 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 [4], this recipe's secret ingredient is jello.
To get the recipe — thanks for sharing LaylaCams! — and make one for yourself, .
