    My daughter made this for my birthday yesterday - better than any store-bought or bakery cake could have been! It's a lighter birthday cake, and the key lime icing is divine!

    This cake is wonderful! It is so easy to make with a pre-made angel food cake, but I like to make mine. My mother grew up in Florida so she loves key lime anything. Although her birthday is in October, she asks for this birthday cake every year.
