Ingredients

1 (15.25 ounce) package lemon cake mix
1.33 cups vegetable oil
0.75 cup orange juice
4 large eggs
1 (3 ounce) package lime flavored Jell-O® mix
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
0.5 cup butter
4 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease three 8-inch round cake pans and gather all ingredients.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, oil, orange juice, eggs, and lime gelatin mix. Beat until well combined for a smooth batter.
Evenly pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake layers cool completely.
While the cake cools, prepare the frosting: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy.
Gradually add confectioners' sugar and lime juice to the creamed mixture. Mix until everything is well combined and smooth.
Once the cake layers are fully cooled, fill and frost them with the prepared cream cheese frosting.
