Harvey's Key Lime Cake

Because my "fans" asked for a picture.....
I found this little gem of a cake recipe on the back of the Harvey's circular ad. I confess, I normally don't even look at the circular. And to think I almost missed this recipe!

Harvey's Key Lime Cake


1 pkg lemon cake mix (Duncan Hines Lemon Supreme)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup lime juice (key lime, if you can find it)
1 (3 oz.) pkg lime Jello
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs

ICING:
2 cups sifted powdered sugar (the recipe says "confectioners" and my mama says "4x sugar"
1/2 cup lime juice (or key lime)

Blend all ingredients together (not icing ones, of course) with an electric mixer on medium speed for about two minutes. (I actually just used a whisk and it worked fine.) Pour into a greased tube pan or a 9x13 baking pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes. After removing from oven, use an ice pick and stick through cake, top to bottom, many times. (Or "poke tiny holes all over it.") Drizzle with icing while still warm. (After whisking the icing ingredients together. ). I dusted powdered sugar over ours to serve.

Random Thoughts on the Topic:
*I love my whisk, by the way. Does that make me a whisker?
* I used a 9x13 pan. A tube pan is round, like a big donut shape. A bundt pan should work fine.
*Bundt cakes remind me of Big Fat Greek Wedding.
*My secret for you: This cake gets better after it sits in the fridge overnight. (It also magically disappears as it sits in the fridge overnight.)
*The cake is such a pretty green color. Would be fun to make for St. Patty's day.
*Upon further investigation, it appears this recipe is quite popular on the web!
*Come to think of it, I think my cousin Pam posted a similar recipe on her Facebook.
*In case you're wondering, Harvey's is a countrified grocery store chain and is a part of the Food Lion family.

ENJOY THE YUMMINESS!!

Yummo! I think I shall add this to next week's grocery list!

I haven't been getting the Harvey's ad since we moved, but when I did, I always flipped to the back to look at the recipe!

My First Assignment!

Image
Oh, What a Feeling!!! That's the title of my first BFS Assignment. I'm to share a little about what led us to homeschool in the first place....and our ups and downs. The title is kind of funny to me...mainly because THIS homeschool mom runs the gamut of "feelings" about our home educating adventure. One day I feel great and encouraged...the next day I might feel like I've completely lost my mind to think I can teach my own children a livelong thing. One day I feel like I knowthatIknowthatIknow Father has called us to homeschool and the next day, I feel like I'm completely ruining the poor little dears! Please tell me I'm not alone! My two older brothers and their wives introduced the idea of homeschooling to me, who went to a private school all 12 years. There were friends here in our small town, as well, who were homeschooling when hardly no one else in a 60 mile radius was. I talked to my sister in laws at length about their reasons for homeschooling and...

Rayray's Recap of American Idol

Image
Since I haven't blogged on American Idol in awhile, our Rayray is going to blog tonight in my place. So without further adieu, here's your American Idol recap, through the eyes of a 13 year old. Hey people! I am so honored to be my mama's first guest blogger! Here we go...My first American Idol blog! I'm so excited! :D Allison, I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing: Oh, Allison. Why in the earthly WORLD did you pick that song? That's David Cook's song! *Flashes back to last season* David brought it on that song last year. *flashes back to present* It was too low pitched. I wanted to see her hittin' those big notes tonight. I'm a big fan of Allison, but it just wasn't that great tonight. Anoop Dawg, Everything I Do I Do For You: You should've taken Randy's advice. Rough it up! It sounded like he didn't even try to take his advice. I'm kinda sick of ballads, too. Is it just me, or has he done one like, three weeks in a row? ( PajamaMama loved ...

What You Missed....

Image
Why is it that when there's tons of great stuff to blog about, I drop the ball and don't blog!!! Perhaps it's lack of time!!! Anyway, I'll catch you up on what you missed with a photo essay. Our Jelly Bean becomes St. JellyBean every Christmas. He grows out his beard and has his whole head dyed white. He has an awesome "suit." Not many folks get a private photo shoot with Santa in their living room! (This pic was only after phase one of beard-dying.) My nephew brought his fiance "home" to meet us all. She's a tiny little cute thing and we so enjoyed being with her! Fiance had never been to a Winn Dixie but loves the book "Because of Winn Dixie." So at 9:00 one night, guess where we took the poor little deprived child! Fiance is an avid basketball player. Had the nerve to do what no girl has every done....challenged the Hero to a little one-on-one. She let him win... These two cousins adore each other. They are two of the sweetest, mil...
