Directions for Cake:

Preheat the oven to approximately 325 degrees. Mix the cake mix, lime juice, water, lime zest, jello, eggs, and vegetable oil together. Stir well. Pour the mixture into a 9 x 13 lightly greased cake pan. Bake for about 25 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Allow cake to cool then frost. I prefer to use cream cheese frosting.
