Time 2h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup graham cracker crumbs (15 squares)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 package Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ butter recipe yellow cake mix
2 tablespoons Key lime or regular lime juice (plus water to measure 1 cup)
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 teaspoons grated Key lime or regular lime peel
3 eggs
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons grated Key lime or regular lime peel
1/2 cup Key lime or regular lime juice
1 1/2 cups whipping (heavy) cream

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottoms only of two 8- or 9-inch round cake pans (dark or nonstick pans not recommended). Line pans with waxed paper. Grease waxed papers and sides of pans; lightly flour. In medium bowl, mix cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Spread 2/3 cup of mixture in each pan.
  • In large bowl, beat cake mix, lime juice mixture, softened butter, 2 teaspoons lime peel and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pans.
  • Bake 8-inch rounds 36 to 43 minutes, 9-inch rounds 32 to 38 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Run sharp knife around sides of pans to loosen cakes. Cool in pans 15 minutes. Remove from pans to cooling rack, placing cakes crumb-mixture-side-up and removing waxed paper from tops of cakes. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • To make Creamy Key Lime Filling and Frosting, in small bowl, stir together condensed milk, 2 teaspoons lime peel and 1/2 cup lime juice; set aside. Beat whipping cream in chilled medium bowl with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Fold milk mixture into whipped cream just until blended.
  • Place 1 layer, crumb side up, on serving plate. Spread with 1 cup filling to within 1/4 inch of edge. Add second layer, crumb side up; frost side and top of cake with remaining filling. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.

I'm not usually a fan of key lime pie, but this cake changed my mind! The filling was smooth and creamy, and the crust was the perfect balance of sweet and tart. I'll definitely be making this cake again.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was still very good. The filling was smooth and creamy, and the crust was nice and flaky. I would definitely make this cake again, but I would use a different recipe for the cake batter.
