Key Lime Cake

This simple recipe was delicious. I think you could use any kind of lemon or lime juice and it would work well. I have made it twice now and each time it was a hit. The most time consuming thing for me was squeezing real limes to get the juice, but if you buy the juice already prepared then it's a fairly quick fix.

Ingredients:
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 (3 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding
mix
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
5 tablespoons key lime juice
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons key lime juice
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease one 9x13 inch cake pan or one 10 inch bundt pan. I used the 9x13" pan.
2. In a large bowl stir together; lemon cake mix, lemon instant pudding, water, oil, eggs, and 5 tablespoons key lime juice, mixing well. Pour batter into prepared pan.
3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes. Pour key lime glaze over cake while still warm.
4. To Make Glaze: Mix together the confectioner's sugar and 3 tablespoons of the key lime juice (or more if necessary), spoon glaze over warm cake. I poked holes in the cake with a fork, so the glaze would soak in.

I modified the above recipe from the one I found here.
