This cake is the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The cake layers or tender and moist and absolutely a must-make recipe for your next celebration… or no special occasion at all. This is a refreshing cake that’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser and guilty pleasure.

If you can find key limes use them if not use regular limes.

Easy Key Lime Cake with Key Lime Cream Cheese Frosting

Citrus makes me think of Spring. This cake makes a great springtime dessert. St Patrick’s Day, Easter, and Mother’s Day would be the ideal time to enjoy this cake.

One of my favorite things to do is take an extensive recipe and make it easier to prepare. (You know how impatient I am!) I would love to spend hours in the kitchen baking and decorating cakes, prepping and preparing beautiful meals. But, the truth is, I just don’t have that kind of time. My boys have activities and need help with homework and such. I did implement a chore system for them to follow this summer, but they still need supervision. Therefore, for now, it’s simple, easy, and quick dishes!! (Mostly)

This recipe was inspired by Trisha Yearwood’s Key Lime Cake, but I made it easier! I started with a cake mix with additions that make it taste homemade. The Key Lime Cream Cheese Frosting is completely from scratch.

I got excited and didn’t take pix of adding the orange juice, lime juice, and vanilla

I gave this cake away so I used an aluminum dish.

    I made this again yesterday during hurricane Ian! This is so easy to make. I used a can of cream cheese frosting because I didn’t want to go out. I put some vanilla and key lime juice in it. It was runny but okay. I won’t do that again! It is so good. Next time I’m using yellow cake, just because I love yellow cake. Thank you for the wonderful recipe!

      I’m so happy you like it. If you want to bump up the flavor of canned frosting like that again, you can add a little powdered sugar to thicken it.

    Hello, may you please advise about frosting?. Cake come out perfect, frosting or not thick enough, I use a whole stick of blue bonnet margarine, 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice and one box of confectioner sugar, 8 oz of cream cheese. I refrigerate and it still not thick enough.

    I made this and it came out perfect first time. I read some comments and got some tips on how to adjust to a 16.5 oz. cake mix, as I couldn’t find an 18 oz one. This has such a strong lime tartness we love it. I doubled the frosting recipe the second time around so I didn’t have to skimp on it. This is so delicious, my family requests it now.

    My daughter and I made this cake for the fist time yesterday for Easter!!!! It was absolutely delicious!!!!! The cream cheese icing was the best too!!!! I was wondering instead of 1/13 oil could I do half oil and half butter???? Or just lest oil and more another liquid???? Mentally I have a thing with all that oil…
    I used, oil, D Cake lemon or lime box flour, lime jello, orange juice. Can I substitute the oil??
    If not again this cake is awesome!!!!!😄😃😀

      04.05.21 at 8:39 am

      You can do half oil and half butter. Or, if you want to reduce the fat overall you can use half oil and half applesauce. The cooking time should be the same using applesauce, but watch it the first time. Fat makes it moist so with less you def don’t want to overcook it. I’m happy you enjoyed it!

    This cake was Excellent! We loved that it actually tasted like a lime cake. I made it as a Bundt cake and baked it for 36 minutes. I didn’t use the amount recommended of confectioners sugar as it would have been too sweet but the frosting was wonderful. This recipe is a keeper.

    If you bake the cake the day before, do you need to refrigerate overnight because of the fresh lime juice?

      I would. I almost always make and refrigerate layer cakes the day before. Cold cakes are much easier to frost. (in my opinion)

    Love this cake! I had watched a cooking program on the Food Channel that had 2 guys on it, that were, of all things….Pizza makers with several Pizza restaurants that they own in New York and California! They were in Florida just for a Key Lime Cake recipe! Well, I’m horrible at “scratch” cakes, so when I saw the recipe these guys had on their show…it was way to complicated for me, but it just looked so delicious to say the least!!!
    I thought there has to be a simpler way to make this cake and I searched the good ‘old Internet and found this one! OMG!!! I made this heavenly cake and wonder of wonders, my husband “actually” loved it! In fact, he said it was not only the best cake I had ever made, he loved the taste and here’s the biggie….he’s asked me to make it again and again! You could have knocked me over with a feather! He’s never commented me on my cakes let alone asked for a repeat performance!!!! Especially since he really doesn’t care for Lime flavor!!!
    I’ve made this 4 times since I found this recipe since 2016. But out if necessity I had to change it a tiny little bit…. I ran out of Orange Juice and used 1/2 cup of the OJ with 1/4 cup of Key Lime Juice! It was great! I found this great Key Lime Juice….right next to the Real Lime & Lemon Juice in the grocery! It’s called, ” Nellie and Joes Famous Key Lime Juice”! It’s a little pricey but so well worth it! I also use thus Juice in any recipe that calls for Lime or Lemon Juice! It’s not to tart and not to sweet! (It’s also great in a Corona beer too) So! To make me long story short….this is my families most favorite cake recipe and my friends love it too, any ime of the year!!!!

      Awe, I’m so sorry. Have you calibrated your oven. A lot of time the oven temp can be way off from what it’s set at, this sounds like what may have happened. You can get an oven thermometer from Walmart and test it. set the oven to 350 and when the oven says it’s at that temp check to see what the thermometer says, the themometer will be correct.

    Just finished making this, whipped up super fast, tastes heavenly! Used juice of one orange mixed with fresh lime juice to make up the 3/4 cup of orange juice called for. Also added lime zest to the frosting. Thanks for sharing, going in the ‘keeper’ file!

        A couple of things. I use 9 inch pans and my cakes sink in the middle. How can I adjust the recipe for this size pan? Please help. Thanking you in advance.

          It sounds like they weren’t cooked long enough. First calibrate your oven to make sure it’s cooking at the temperature it’s reading/set to. Or get a cake thermometer like this > https://amzn.to/3dVV6QU. It should read 210 when the cake is done. test the center of the cake and don’t touch the pan itself

    This cake tastes amazing!
    I made this cake for my dad’s birthday and everyone in my family loved it.
    I would suggest making this.

        I’d like to make key lime cake pops. The only coating I can find is vanilla to dip the cake in. Any ideas to enhance the cake lime flavor without using the frosting? Thank you!

          You could add lime extract to white melting chocolate> https://amzn.to/2VBGfFn and/or sprinkle lemon ‘powder’ on top of the coating https://amzn.to/2UInBva
          This is a good article on adding flavoring to chocolate https://www.thespruceeats.com/how-to-flavor-chocolate-521578

    I’ve made this twice. Once with your frosting (delicious) and once with just a whipped fluffy white frosting. Both ways are yummy! Thanks for a great recipe, I’ve shared it with so many!

    I like to add milk to make cake mixes for extra moisture. Do you think I could use milk instead of the orange juice?I’m looking so forward to trying this as lime is one of my favourite flavours!

      Milk would prob be ok, but it won’t have as strong citrus flavor using the milk.

    I think I would substitute out the orange juice as would rather have a pure lime flavor. Wondering if I could just use water with possible addition of True Lime packets (crystalized real lime juice)? That is what I always use to replace lemon, lime, and orange juice. Only buy them when I need rind.

      I’m not familiar with those lime packets, but if you’ve used them in the past they’ll probably work. I can’t get a handle on the all lime, but I’m sure it would work.
