Key West Key Lime Cake

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I made this one for Easter 2020. All I could find was a French Vanilla cake mix, because of the Corona most all cake mixes were gone. Cake mixes today are only 15.25 oz. so I added a recipe of Cake Mix Extender I found on this website. It made two 9" layers. It didn't rise very much, but cooked up nice and flat, making it easy to frost. I substituted milk for the water to make richer cake. It took about 32 minutes to bake. Before I frosted it, I poked holes and drizzled each layer with 1 TBSP of key lime juice. I also added 2 TBSP juice to the frosting, and added curd between the layers. That's right! No cake to rich for me! It was fabulous.
