I did cut way back on the oil to 1/2 cup & added 1/2 cup applesauce. Very moist.

Very amazingly easy and great tasting cake for spring and summer. I have made this several times now for parties using 3/4 c oil and 5 eggs, and adding lime zest into the batter and also the frosting for more of a lime zing. Several people have asked me for this recipe and rave about it.

This was a great cake! Made it for my Dad who loves Key Lime pie. I changed the icing. I took store bought Lemon icing added Lime juice & green food coloring. The whole family went crazy over it.

I have been making this cake for around 10 years. Everyone I know loves it. I make it in a bundt pan and replace most of the orange juice with rum. Then I double the frosting and fill the center of the cake with the extra and surround the cake plate with strawberries to be dipped in the frosting. oh I also actually slice the bundt into two layers and fill it with some of the frosting too. Then just frost the top the best i can. It looks great with lime twist on top and then the red strawberries around it.

In answer to the question about the oil. My Key Lime Recipe is almost exactly like this one with the exception of 5 eggs instead of 4 and only 3/4 cup of oil. Hopes this helps. By the way, I didnot use this recipe as written.

This cake recipe turned out great. I made it for my DH's bday. He loved it as did our other guests. It is very moist. I made it in a 9x13 pan and it cooked more quickly than the box stated that it would.

Did I read this right, 1 1/3 cup of oil? I used 1/3 cup of oil and it came out just fine. I was afraid to go as I read it as I thought for sure I'd ruin the recipe!

YUM! Made cupcakes and moist they are... My husband calls these "Shrek Snot Cupcakes" because of the color. I didn't have any OJ so I just squeezed extra lime juice which made it extra yummy and not too tart. I frosted it with "Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting" from this site subbing lemon with lime juice, added extra lime zest to the frosting. MMMmm! Going back to the kitchen for my third....

This recipe is a great summer treat. I make it in a 9x13 pan to save time and for easy transportation. I also use fresh key limes for the lime juice and use my microplane to garnish the top of the cake. Pretty and refreshing too!

I have been making this cake now for about two years. To save time, I buy Cream Cheese frosting, rather than making it from scratch.

This cake is so delicious! A perfect cake alternative to key lime pie (though may taste a little more like lemon than lime, yummy just the same) Super moist but it did fall quite a bit. This recipe works the same with strawberry cake mix and strawberry jello (pretty for christmas with the two cakes stacked together!) As I saw from the other reviewers, the frosting wasn't thick enough so I only put in half the butter, let it set up a bit in the fridge and it was perfect.
