the cake by itself isn't anything spectacular but put the icing on it and it is fantastic!

A great, easy-to-make cake! Note: we'd consider doubling the recipe for taller/more layers. It's a pretty short cake.

Excellent! This recipe for key lime cake exceeded my expectations. It was very easy to make and required few ingredients. Very delicious: My family loved it!

I made this cake for the first time for Christmas. It was a huge hit for my extended family potluck dinner. It was moist and just the right sweet and tart. The only recommendation (provided to me from my nephew who happens to be a chef) is to use 2 tablespoons of lime juice for the icing to make it a little more stiff for spreading. My icing was a tad bit runny with the 3 tbsps. I'm making it again really soon.

Person/author who submitted this recipe neglected to note in the directions that cake mix to be pour into GREASED pans! This absolutely ruined the cake, not to mention the money spent on the ingredients, and time wasted.

I was looking for a recipe to make a key lime cake from scratch but could only find cake mix recipes. Nonetheless, this turned out pretty well. As other users suggested, I used 5 eggs instead of 4, reduced the oil to 3/4 cups, and I substituted concentrated key lime juice for the orange juice with a little lime zest added. I also paired the cake with the Cream Cheese Frosting II recipe from this site with walnuts mixed in. Overall, everyone loved it! Next time, I will probably try this recipe with white cake mix as the lemon flavor was somewhat dominant.

This looked and tasted like Fruit Loops. I made it this past weekend for a friend's party. I rushed to prepare something else to take. It was very moist, though. But thats only b/c of ALL the oil. I would not recommend this cake.

This was yummy. I'm giving it 4 stars because I could taste the orange in the cake. I would have preferred all lime flavor. I will make again and omit the orange juice and use lime juice. This was moist. What made it great was a fresh blueberry topping. I did use the cream cheese frosting on the sides and as a fence to keep the berries on the top of the cake. I cooked corn starch, sugar and water; boiled 1 min. and stirred in 2 c. blueberries.

Great flavor and very moist. The 2 layer is hard to keep from faling apart but the bundt pan was great. Loved it!

This cake was okay. I made some modifications. I used white cake instead of lemon because I hate the flavor of lemon cake. I replaced half the orange juice with key lime juice. I made a glaze of key lime juice, sugar, and butter that poured onto the warm bundt out of the oven. It set into the cake and made it very moist.
