This is a take on Key Lime Cake III, but after some experimenting, I find this recipe is moister, more flavorful, and easier to make.
Ingredients
Glaze
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 4 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 4 ½ tablespoons Key lime juice
- 3 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs, or as needed
Cake
- 1 (15.25 ounce) package lemon cake mix
- ½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (3 ounce) package lime-flavored gelatin mix
- ¾ cup limeade
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- ½ medium lime, zested and juiced
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch Bundt® pan.
Step 2
Combine cake mix, cream cheese, gelatin mix, limeade, vegetable oil, eggs, lime zest, and lime juice for cake in a mixing bowl; mix until smooth and well combined. Pour into the prepared pan.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Step 4
Beat butter and cream cheese for glaze in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar and Key lime juice and mix until well combined.
Step 5
Turn the pan over and remove the cooled cake onto a serving plate. Pour glaze over the cake and garnish with crushed graham crackers and more lime zest.
Step 6
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
