Steps:

Combine the crunch layer ingredients together. Divide the crunch layer mixture into half. Press each batch on the bottom of two greased and floured 8" or 9" pans. Using a hand or electric mixer, mix cake ingredients at low speed in a large bowl until moistened. Beat 2 more minutes at high speed. Pour the cake batter into the two pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the cake from pans and let them cool completely under room temperature. In small bowl, mix frosting & topping. Fold in lemon and lime peels. Place one layer, crunch side up, on a plate or a cake stand. Spread with 1/2 cup frosting. Top with remaining layer, crunch side up. Spread top and sides with remaining frosting.
