Ingredients

Cake

Key Lime Filling

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
  • 3/4 cup whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup Key lime juice or regular lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime peel
  • 4 drops yellow food color
  • 1 drop green food color

Frosting

Garnish, If Desired

  • Fresh strawberries
  • Key lime slices
  • Lemon leaves

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with baking spray with flour.
  • 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.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Key lime pie is not green in color unless food color is added. If you'd prefer a greener filling in this cake, add a couple drops of green food color to the filling before pouring it over the cake.
  • tip 2
    If Key limes aren't available in your grocery store, look for bottled Key lime juice near the other bottled lime juices.
