Key Lime Angel Food Cake W/ Key Lime Frosting image

This is my signature cake (I can't believe I'm sharing it). THIS CAKE IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR OUTSIDE SUMMER PARTIES - the frosting does not hold up well in heat or humidity, it will flop - so keep it in a cool place or refrigerator.

KEY LIME ANGEL FOOD CAKE:
1 box(es) angel food cake mix (boxed or homemade)
- key lime juice
- water
- green & yellow food coloring
FLUFFY KEY LIME FROSTING:
2 large egg whites
3/4 cup(s) sugar
1/4 cup(s) light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) cream of tartar
2 tablespoon(s) key lime juice
1 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
- green & yellow food coloring

Steps:

  • CAKE: Make cake according to directions on package; whatever the package amount says for the water - use 1/2 key lime juice & 1/2 water & green/yellow food coloring. Cool completely. NOTE: For instantce...if it calls for 1 1/2 C water --- use 3/4 C water & 3/4 C key lime juice.
  • FROSTING: Combine all ingredients (except key lime juice, vanilla & food coloring) into a stainless steel bowl (works the best). Place over boiling water or dutch oven. Beat with a electric hand mixer at high speed until frosting forms stiff peaks; about 7 minutes). Remove from heat; add key lime juice, vanilla & food coloring.
  • NOTE: Frost cake immediately since frosting will harden to a marshmallow-like consistantly & will not spread when hard.
