Shirley's Lime Cake

By á-3900

Heavy, moist and rich tasting, yet without a lot of eggs and you can use a low-cholesterol salad oil.

Ingredients

• Frosting:
• 1 package lime jello
• 3/4 c cold water
• 4 eggs
• 1 package yellow cake mix
• 1/4 cup oil
• dash of green food coloring (optional)
• Juice of 2 large limes
• 2 c sifted powdered sugar
• grated lime peel (zest only).

Preparation

Step 1

Beat jello, water and eggs together with electric mixer for 2 minutes

Add cake mix, oil and green food coloring. Beat for 1 minute more.

Pour into a prepared pan. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or more, until cake tests done. While cake is still hot, prick holes in cake with a toothpick and pour frosting over it.

For frosting, mix all ingredients together until very smooth. Pour over cake.
