Trisha Yearwood Key Lime Cake Recipe

If you're looking to add a bit of zing to your dessert repertoire, Trisha Yearwood's Key Lime Cake has got your name on it!
This cake bursts with the refreshing taste of key lime, making it a stand-out treat that's both simple and rewarding to make.
I like to zest the limes first before juicing them to get the most out of each fruit.
Oh, and make sure to let the cake cool before glazing to avoid a runny mess!
