I’m sharing our favorite spring green, celebratory cake at $5 Dinners today!
Any cake with more than two layers is a special celebratory cake in my cookbook. A spring green cake even more so.
At the first sign of brilliant blue skies, I start to think of making my Aunt Kathy’s Lime Cake. Will it be for Easter, Mother’s Day, a birthday or a bridesmaids luncheon? All of the above.
The inside of the cake gets its spring green color from a box of lime jello. Plus, the icing calls for three tablespoons of lime juice.
Join me at $5 Dinners?

March 30, 2011 at 4:12 PMTricia- I made this cake last night. OH, my was it wonderful! I didn’t have enough powdered sugar as it turns out, and so the frosting on my was runny…but it tasted wonderful anyway. I posted it over at HW with a link to $5 Dinners. I wanted to add this link too, but I couldn’t get through to here this morning. I will add it in now. Thanks so much!

Thanks for your patience this morning. Our hosting provider was transferring Hodgepodge to a new server. Hopefully things are snappier clicking around here now.
