Cake:
- 1 lemon cake mix
1 cups vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 package lime flavored gelatin mix
3/4 cup orange juice
Mix together and divide among pans of choice and cook according to cake box directions.*If your worried about it being too sweet add 1/2 prepared white cake mix. I did then I used the other half to make cupcakes for those babies who wouldn't eat heaven on earth!!! I even made it swirly looking it was cool.
Key lime Frosting
1/2 cup butter
1 package cream cheese
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon orange juice

To clarify did you use half a lemon and half of a white cake mix, or did you use the full lemon cake mix and added half of a whit cake mix?
