Ingredients
  

  • 1 Box Yellow Cake Mix
  • 1 container cream cheese frosting
  • 1/2 package Sugar free lime jello mix
  • 12 ounces Key lime sparkling water I got this from Walmart, it is sugar free sparkling water, not seltzer, Sprite Zero would also work
  • Fresh lime zest optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
  • Grease two 9 inch rounds and line the bottom of each pan with parchment paper
  • With a large mixing bowl or a KitchenAid mixer combine the cake mix, half of the jello mix, and 12 ounces of the sparkling water. (I got the key lime sparkling water from Walmart)
  • Once the batter is combined, divide into the two pans and bake for 20-22 minutes
  • Once the cake is done baking, take it out and let it cool for at least 1 hour
  • The lining of the pan with parchment paper will make it easy to remove these from the pan with no casualties or cake breaks!
  • Once the cake is cooled, place the first layer onto a cake plate.
  • Use about ΒΌ of the frosting to top the bottom layer and top with some fresh lime zest (optional but recommended)
  • Carefully place the second cake layer on top, make sure that it is aligned and looks pretty!
  • Use the remaining frosting to cover the cake
  • Top with more fresh lime zest!
  • Serve and enjoy :)
