Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease and flour one 9-by-12-by-2-inch cake pan.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix the gelatin, granulated sugar, flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Stir to mix well. Add the oil, orange juice, lemon juice, vanilla, and eggs. Mix until well combined. Pour the batter evenly in the pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Test for doneness by lightly touching the tops or inserting a toothpick. Cool the cake in the pan for 5 minutes then turn out onto a cooling rack.
• For the glaze: While the cake is still hot, mix the lime juice and confectioners' sugar together well. Pierce the cake with a fork to allow the glaze to soak in better and pour it over the cake on the cooling rack. Allow cake to cool completely as you prepare the icing.
• For the icing: Cream the butter and cream cheese. Beat in the confectioners' sugar until mixture is smooth and easy to spread. Spread the icing on the top and sides of the cake.

LIME CAKE FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 8 x 2 inch round pans. I split the layers for four layers to assemble the cake, your could also bake in three 8 x 2 pans. This will give you more lime curd per slice. I used the reverse creaming method for this recipe.
• In the bowl of your mixer combine the cake flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and lime zest.
• In a separate bowl combine eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and lime juice. Blend with a fork.
• Whisk the dry ingredients for 30 seconds to combine. Begin with your mixer on low speed, gradually increasing to medium speed as you add the slices of butter a few pieces at a time. Beat until the dry ingredients are crumbly and moistened by the butter. The look & texture will be similar to coarse sand. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to make sure there is no dry flour.
• Slowly add approximately 1/2 of the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and beat at medium speed for 1 1/2 minutes, the batter will become thick and fluffy. Scrape the bowl and add the remaining egg mixture in 2 additions, beating for 20 seconds after each addition.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes (25 to 30 minutes if you bake in 3 pans) or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cakes cool 10 minutes then turn out. Makes 6 1/2 cups of batter, works well for cupcakes.
• In a saucepan over medium heat bring the water and sugar to a boil. Turn the heat to low and stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is clear.
• Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice. Cool. If you want the mixture to be a thicker consistency, cook longer over low heat.
• Brush a small amount of the syrup onto your cake layers before you begin assembling your cake. Apply sparingly so that the cake does not become soggy. We apply while the cakes are still warm but you could also do this at room temp just before assembling. We prefer to use a pastry brush. With lime juice added to the mixture it will last 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.
• Combine sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan, pour in water. Over medium heat, stir the mixture constantly until it thickens and comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, remove the pan from the heat.
• Spoon about 1/2 cup of the hot mixture into a small bowl containing the egg yolks and stir quickly until combined.
• Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan. Return pan to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, approximately 1 min. The mixture will thicken slightly.
• Remove from heat and stir in the butter, lime juice and lime zest. Cool before using.

KEY LIME CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare the Curd: Place egg yolks in a small heatproof bowl. Bring sugar and lime juice to a boil in a heavy nonaluminum 3 1/2-quart saucepan over medium-high. Remove from heat. Gradually whisk about one fourth of the hot juice mixture into egg yolks. Add egg yolk mixture to remaining hot juice mixture in saucepan, whisking constantly until well combined. Cook mixture over medium, whisking constantly, until thickened to pudding-like consistency, 6 to 8 minutes. Add butter cubes in 6 additions, whisking constantly after each addition until butter melts and mixture is well combined. Remove from heat. Pour mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl. Place plastic wrap directly on surface of mixture to prevent a film from forming. Chill at least 3 hours or up to 24 hours.
• While Curd chills, prepare the Cake Layers: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease (with shortening) and flour 3 (8-inch) round cake pans; set aside. Beat sugar and butter with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Gradually add egg whites, one third at a time, beating well on low speed after each addition. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with water, beginning and ending with flour mixture, beating on low speed until just incorporated. Stir in lime zest and vanilla. (Batter will appear broken.) Pour batter evenly into prepared cake pans. Bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in centers of cakes comes out clean, 18 to 21 minutes. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Invert cakes onto wire racks, and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Prepare the Frosting: Beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Gradually add powdered sugar, lime juice, vanilla, and salt, beating until smooth, about 2 minutes. Increase speed to medium-high; beat until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Spoon Frosting into a large piping bag with a tip cut off (about 1/2 inch).
• Assemble the Cake: Place 1 Cake Layer on a serving plate or a cake stand. Pipe Frosting in a ring (about 1/4-inch high) around top outer edge of layer. Spread one third of the Curd (about 1/2 cup) inside Frosting ring. Top with second Cake Layer; repeat Frosting piping and Curd spreading. Top with third Cake Layer; repeat Frosting piping and Curd spreading. Spread remaining Frosting around sides of cake, reserving about 1/2 cup in piping bag. Pipe reserved Frosting into a ring of 1/2-inch dots around top of cake. Garnish cake with lime zest.
