  • 2 In large bowl, beat cake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.
  • 3 Bake 27 to 33 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes. With handle of wooden spoon (1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter), poke holes almost to bottom of cake every 1/2 inch, wiping spoon handle occasionally to reduce sticking.
  • 4 In medium bowl, stir together filling ingredients (mixture will thicken). Pour over cake; spread evenly over surface, working back and forth to fill holes. (Some filling should remain on top of cake.) Refrigerate 1 hour.
  • 5 Spread frosting over cake; sprinkle with lime peel. Garnish as desired. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.

Crowd pleasing favorite! This is so light and refreshing on those hot summer days. I use cool whip instead of frosting but it still hits the sweet tooth... even in children. To get clean holes in a warm cake, allow the spoon handle to sit in hot water first.

I decided to follow the recipe as it is written. The 4 eggs did not turn the cake mix yellow as I thought it might. Only thing I will do different is just top it with lite cool whip instead of the canned icing, have to save calories and fat somewhere. Thanks.
