My friend says the best cake he ever had is a key lime cake that resembled a pie. There was a "crust" layer, middle layer and topping layer. He said the icing was like a key lime flavored buttercream. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Sorry Zookeeper... I don't know the recipe but would LOVE to have it if anybody else does know one!! YUMYUM.

i dont know this cake but i do a cake that is white with key lime mouse filling. and i am sure you could add some key lime juice to the buttercream for the icing.

Sounds yummy! I've been looking for a good keylime cake recipe. I found a keylime cupcake recipe from the cakemix doctor that uses a keylime filling I might try to turn into a keylime cake - as soon as I find keylime juice! I'll let you know how it turns out.

Hi Guys, this is not really the "pie type" you may be looking for, but it's dense & gooey good!

Key Lime Cake

1 box lemon cake mix (preferrably DH brand)
6 oz box lime jello
3/4 c orange juice
5 eggs
3/4 c oil

Mix cake mix & jello (the dry powder). Add OJ and mix thoroughly. Add 1 egg at a time beating well. Add oil & stir in thoroughly.

Grease & flour 3 9" pans. Bake at 350 for 20-30 min.

Frosting: 1 stick butter, 8 oz cream cheese, 1 box 4X, 1 t vanilla. Mix and spread between layers

Enjoy!

Hey, TheCakeMaker!!

WalMart SuperCenters now sells Key Lime Juice. It is near the lemon juice.

Let us know what you end up trying and how it turns out.

i just do the white cake mix in a box and the mouse is heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, key lime juice, and a little green icing color.

fill mixing bowl about 1/3 way with heavy cream whip till almost done then add about 1 to 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar and key lime juice to taste (a lot!) and a few drops of green to make a light green color and finish mixing.

I tried that Lime Mousse Cake (see "epicurious" link above), last week - and it was DELICIOUS! (My husband wants key lime pie every year for his b'day, and this was a little different, but sounded good). It's a no bake pie, similar to a cheesecake, but more fluffy (due to the added whipped cream!). I did add a little extra key lime juice, and boy, was it good. I thought it would make a nice cake filling, as it held up really well after a day or two of refridgeration.

Thanks for all the great ideas! I will post when I get to try one out-probably in the next week or two.
