I made this cake for my daughters graduation party and people are still asking me if I can make them one. It is a crowd pleaser. You have to try it.

This is a grat cake! I let the glaze sit in the cake overnight before taking out of the pan. Just be sure to loosen the cake before pour in the glaze over it and then loosen again before flipping it over on the plate! Everyone loves it...except some of the kids its a little too sour for them...although those with milk and butter allergies thinks it's the greatest!!

WOW! Absolutely delicious! I've made this cake twice in one week, once for a family who loved it and today for a church fellowship. There was none left. People were eating the crumbs! Two changes . . . I used regular lime juice and added six drops of green food coloring. This cake is perfect for a St. Patrick's Day dessert or any other time for that matter. I didn't glaze the cake. It was perfect as is. Also, the bundt pan works better than the tube pan. You end up with a more eye-appealing cake. This recipe is a keeper!

This cake came out wonderful. My taste testers said it is welcoming to the pallet! The only thing that I ded differently was add green food color and added cream cheese to the icing. Wonderful!!!!!

WOW! I made this is last night and it is AMAZING! I did make a few changes though. Instead of lemon cake i used yellow. instead of 3/4 water i used 1/2 cup and substituted 1/4 more lime juice cause of the yellow cake. I also used white icing and added about 1/4 cup cream cheese and a little less than 1/4 cup key lime juice. icing was unbelievable!

This came out awesome. The only change I made was using freshly squeezed lime juice

I'm not the one they rave about whose food is brought to an event. This cake has changed all of that! I haven't had such raves about anything I've ever made - for my daughter-in-law's belated birthday. I didn't even get to taste it!! Now I have to have all of these ingredients on hand as the requests start rolling in. I heard it was a total "RAVE"!!!

After reading ALL of the "RAVE REVIEWS" posted about this cake, I had to stop what I was doing and make it!!!! Unfortunately, I didn't have the key limes or the key lime juice, so I used what I had on hand (Real Lime Juice) and had to add a little more than a 1/4 C. to the batter, but it turned out DELISH!!!! While the cake is cooling and still a little hot, I took some (store bought non-alcoholic) Margarita Mix and brushed the outside of the cake with it to create a more moist cake (similar to a simple syrup) so as it sets out in my covered cake pan, it will maintain its moistness. The tartness of the lime juice coupled with the brushing of Margarita Mix was PERFECT and REFRESHING!!!! Everyone in the house LUV's this new cake, and I will be making in now on a regular basis!!!! This was prefect timing for this cake as it is 92 degrees!!!!

I love this cake, except I make it in a layer cake and frost with lemon frosting. It's so good especially this time of year.

I made this in March, right after I saw the receipe. Ordinarily, I prefer to make a cake from scratch, but this one sounded so good. It's easy, delicious and refreshing - perfect for summer. The key lime juice gives a tart punch in the mouth. I would not recommend substituting regular lime juice. Make it and keep it in the refrigerator for a cool, tart slice of summer cake! I highly recommend this recipe.

I made this cake for my mothers birthday and it was a huge success!! I topped with cake with slices of strawberries, lime zest and powered sugar. My entire family begged for more. I will definitely be making it again.
