Key Lime Cake recipe for your patience through some long posts! This is actually J. B.'s recipe, my neighbor a few doors down.

24 oz. Vanilla cake base
3 oz. Lime Jello mix
1/4 C. granulated sugar
4 eggs
1 C. sour cream
1/4 C. of water
1/4 C. Key Lime juice (plus a couple tsps.)
2.5 oz of oil. (1/4 C. plus a couple tsps.)
Mix Together and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes.
Key Lime Frosting
1/2 C. butter
4 oz. Cream Cheesee
2 lb. powdered sugar (maybe a bit more)
3 oz Key Lime Juice
2 drops food coloring
After the party, I wrapped up the leftovers in Saran Wrap and when J. and I had it the next day, it was even better! It makes it more like the Key Lime Pie; cold and cool. Tropical and divine. Yum.... my mouth is watering and I wish I could lick the spoon right now.
Below is my neighbor's Valentine Idea... just a clever idea if you get in the mood to make 'bra and undie' cookies for a special someone!
