Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9×13-inch cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, buttermilk, key lime juice, and lime zest. Mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, make the frosting. In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
Add the powdered sugar, key lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat the frosting on low speed until all ingredients are well combined and the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.
Once the cake is cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top of the cake. Sprinkle some additional lime zest over the top for decoration.
Serve and enjoy!
