usually Cost Plus or Williams Sonoma will have it. I have seen it at our QFC grocery store here in Seattle. It can be ordered online as well,

Just use regular lime juice. Key Lime is hard to find, more expensive, and doesn't taste as good (in my opinion) as regular lime juice.

This is my favorite cake and I've been making it for several years. I won first place in a cake contest at work one year with this cake. I used red raspberries and lime slices instead of strawberries and lime slices. It was a hit and have several requests for the recipe and to make for others.

I have also been baking this cake for years and seems to be a favorite many family and friends. This cake seems to be the only cake that comes out of my kitchen. I too won first place with this cake at a family reunion cake contest. It's a hit no matter what. Tried it with lemon juice for a lemon cake as well. It too is a hit.

I loved the cake. Made it for my brother-in-law for his birthday and the whole family enjoyed it. I would like to see how I can add a lemon pudding filling into the cake. If anyone has a recipe that adds lemon pudding filling can you please post it

This might work for you. Soften 4 oz. cream cheese, mixing in some milk to make it very smooth. Sprinkle some instant lemon pudding over cheese and alternate with milk until you have used about 1 to 1 1/4 cups of milk and one pkg. pudding. Consistency should be like a thick custard. Use as a filling for cake. Good luck.

Such a moist and tangy cake! Made it for company and it was gone before the weekend was over! Definitely entering my recipe rotation.

I made this recipe with my grandchildren for Easter and everybody loved it. It was moist, flavorful and was a perfect harbinger of the coming of spring to New England.

This recipe was a big hit at Easter dinner. A worthy alternative to Key Lime pie and so easy to make.

It's a hit every time I bake. Very moist and especially tasty if you like the taste of key lime.
