Directions

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.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

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.

If Key limes aren't available in your grocery store, look for bottled Key lime juice near the other bottled lime juices.

I made this for my family a few weeks back and would have to say that it was just okay. Unfortunately most of the cake went to the trash, just wasn't great. something was missing.

My family loves this cake! I bake the cake with the egg white directions. Then so it's not overly sweet, I use Cool Whip as a frosting. When it's chilled it's a very refreshing warm weather dessert...making it this weekend!
