2006 BBF.net Social Key Lime Cake

Post by **Short Strike** » February 28th, 2006, 9:24 am

You asked for it so you got it...very reluctantly.

My wife bakes cakes professionally. Her business is Enchanted Evenings, Inc. It is not a part time job or a hobby. Asking her to relinquish one of her recipes is like asking one of you to give up the #'s to a favorite fishing spot. However, since she saw what a great bunch of folks were associated with the forum she decided to do it "just this once."

Key Lime Cake

Cake

1 Lemon Cake Mix
Â½ cup water
Â½ cup key lime juice
1 (3oz) pkg. lime gelatin
Â½ cup vegetable oil
4 eggs, slightly beaten

Frosting

Â¼ lb. butter (not margarine)
1 (8oz.) cream cheese
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 cups confectionersâ€™ sugar
2 tbs. milk

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

2. Grease and flour 2-9" cake pans with non- stick cooking spray

3. In a large mixing bowl, add the cake mix, water, lime juice, gelatin, vegetable oil and eggs.

4. Beat ingredients together until well mixed, about 3 minutes

5. Pour into prepared pans and bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes.

6. For the frosting, combine the butter, cream cheese and vanilla in mixer.

7. Add confectionersâ€™ sugar and little at a time and mix until smooth and creamy.

8. Add milk to reach the desired spreading consistency.

9. Spread frosting between layers and around top and sides.

That's probably the first thing she's ever done for me that didn't cost her anything.
