Ingredients

  • 1 box white cake mix
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 can (14oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
  • 3/4 cup whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup Key lime juice or regular lime juice
  • 1 tsp grated lime peel
  • 4 drops yellow food color
  • 1 drop green food color

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350F for shiny metal of glass pan (or 325F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 13 × 9 inch pan with baking spray with flour.

  2. In large bowl, beat cake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.

  3. Bake 26 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes. With handle of wooden spoon (1/4 to 1/2 inch diameter), poke holes almost to bottom of cake every 1/2 inch, wiping spoon handle occasionally to reduce sticking.

  4. In medium bowl, stir together filling ingredients (mixture will thicken). Pour over cake, spread evenly over surface, working back and forth to fill holes (Some filling should remain on top of cake). Refrigerate 1 hour.
