Delicious :) I didn't have a white cake, just yellow. So I thought, why not take the "yellow" a bit further. I added a 4serving box of sugar free instant lemon pudding to the cake mix. I also used extra lime zest to make it more limey. Used Cool Whip with lime zest for the topping. Hubby loves orange cream so I might try it with orange soda. The flavor combos are endless what a great base recipe/idea. Thanks BC for all your delicious things!

I made this cake for the 4th of July. Instead of canned frosting I made homemade whipped cream and zested lime zest into it and on top of it. It was a big hit. It REALLY does taste like a cherry limeade soda! Next time I will probably add about a 1/2 TBSP more lime zest simply because I think it will make it a touch more lime-y.
