I came up with this recipe when I had a bag of key limes and knew I did not want to make pie. You can surely use regular limes, but there is something nice about these little guys they make a really flavorful cake. I used coconut milk since that flavor goes well with limes and I would even try using coconut oil in place of margarine next time.

This cake looked really good especially since my husband loves key lime. The only thing was zesting and juicing the key limes took forever.
I made the cake using the coconut oil. it turned out great. Lots of flavor.
The good thing about limes and key limes is that they have an undertone of sweet that works perfectly with the sour, which is why lime cake is so good. My kind of dessert, not too sweet.
Oh my gosh this sounds and looks so delicious! I love limes.
