I’m really pleased with how this came out. It’s a great alternative to Key Lime Pie for the summer.

I made this white cake from scratch. If you prefer, you can just as easily use a white cake mix. It will still be delicious.

Wait until the cake is completely cool before frosting. For a more professional cake, remove the domes from the tops of the cake layers with a cake leveler or large serrated knife.

Frost with an offset spatula. This makes it really easy to get an even layer.

How to make this cake

First, you will make the cake layers. Always have your butter, milk, and eggs at room temperature before you begin mixing the ingredients together. This will make for a fluffier cake.

While the cake is baking you can make the lime filling. This process is similar to make lemon or lime curd.

Next, make the frosting. Use caution and don’t overbeat.
