Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zesty Key Lime Cake.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and generously greasing three 8-inch round cake pans to ensure easy release.
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, blend together the lemon cake mix, vegetable oil, zesty orange juice, eggs, and a delightful touch of lime-flavored Jell-O mix.
Step 3
Whisk the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated, creating a vibrant batter.
Step 4
Carefully pour the batter into the prepared cake pans, distributing it evenly.
Step 5
Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake layer emerges clean.
Step 6
Once baked to perfection, let the cake layers cool completely in their pans, allowing the flavors to settle.
Step 7
While the cakes cool, whip up a luscious cream cheese frosting by beating together softened cream cheese and butter in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 8
Gradually incorporate confectioners' sugar and a splash of lime juice, mixing until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
Step 9
When the cake layers have cooled, generously fill and frost them with your delightful cream cheese frosting, creating a stunning and delicious centerpiece for any occasion.
Step 10
Enjoy the burst of citrus flavors in every slice!.
