Directions:

1. Place cake mix into mixing bowl mix slowly for one minute. Add
2. water and oil continuing to mix slowly.
3. Add room temp eggs one at a time and mixing well before adding
4. another.
5. Add lime juice slowly. If making this cake for St. Patrick’s Day or you just want that lime hue. Add a few drops at a time until you get the desired shade.
6. Place mixed batter into a greased floured 9x13 pan. Baking at 350 for 50 minutes, Or until cake tests done.
7. When cake is done and while cake is still warm. Maybe out of the oven 5 to 10 minutes. Pour glaze over cake.
8. Leaving cake in pan frost with cream cheese icing.
9. Combine ingredients. Blend to make creamy and smooth. I start by using only half a box of powdered sugar until you get the desired sweetness you are looking for. I also add more or less lime juice until I get the right tasting balance.
