Key Lime Torte

I first tasted this torte at a wedding reception and thought that it was a bakery cake. When I found out it was homemade I just had to have the recipe. So--here it is! It just melts in your mouth. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do. I have mentioned before that I am a scratch cook and don't use cake mixes, but this torte is definitely worth the trip to the store! Cheryl

1 Duncan Hines Butter Yellow Cake Mix
1/2 c butter, softened
7 T water
3 T key lime juice, Nellie and Joe's Key West Lime Juice in green bottle good
3 eggs

Beat on medium speed for 4 minutes. Place batter in 2-9" round prepared cake pans. Bake @ 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes or till toothpick comes out clean. (Cake will feel denser than normal). When cooled, split layers lengthwise to make 4 layers. Fill with filling and then cover top layer. Leave sides unadorned. Refrigerate torte at least 1 hour or make it the night before.

Filling:
1 (14 oz.)can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 c key lime juice
2 c whipping cream

Combine sweetened condensed milk and lime juice, whip whipping cream and fold into milk/lime mixture.

Spread the word
