Lime Cake: $5 Dinners

I’m sharing our favorite spring green, celebratory cake at $5 Dinners today!

Any cake with more than two layers is a special celebratory cake in my cookbook. A spring green cake even more so.

At the first sign of brilliant blue skies, I start to think of making my Aunt Kathy’s Lime Cake. Will it be for Easter, Mother’s Day, a birthday or a bridesmaids luncheon? All of the above.

The inside of the cake gets its spring green color from a box of lime jello. Plus, the icing calls for three tablespoons of lime juice.

About Hodgepodgemom

Tricia faces a daily dose of chaos homeschooling five children. The biggest lesson she’s learned? At the end of the day – when the dishes are put away and the children are tucked in bed – truly what matters is each child’s relationship with the Lord. Raising children is a God-given privilege and, folks, the time is short.

    Tricia- I made this cake last night. OH, my was it wonderful! I didn’t have enough powdered sugar as it turns out, and so the frosting on my was runny…but it tasted wonderful anyway. I posted it over at HW with a link to $5 Dinners. I wanted to add this link too, but I couldn’t get through to here this morning. I will add it in now. Thanks so much!

      Phyllis- I stopped over at Household Ways (everybody go there! http://householdways.blogspot.com) and I so enjoyed your write up. Glad you all enjoyed the cake too!

      Thanks for your patience this morning. Our hosting provider was transferring Hodgepodge to a new server. Hopefully things are snappier clicking around here now.
