My neighbor Julie brought the cake over as a welcome gift when I moved into the neighborhood. She has since moved away to Utah, but we still keep in touch. She introduced me to this cake when I moved to the Florida Keys. We love it. Key Limes grow through out the Keys they are smaller then the regular limes and they have a lot more juice. However if you can't get Key Limes the regular limes will do just as well. Thanks Julie.... Enjoy
