 If you can’t tell by now, I LOVE sheet cakes. Whether its a Peanut Butter Sheet Cake, Caramel Apple Sheet Cake, German Chocolate Sheet Cake or a Creme Brûlée Sheet Cake… I couldn’t say no to any of them!

After making the Key Lime Bundt Cake, I knew I needed to get in a Key Lime Sheet Cake before summer ended. Key Limes are so cute and little but jam packed with tart and tangy flavor.

    This cake is one of the best cakes I've ever made. It was very moist and full of citrusy flavor. I did poke the holes in the cake but I won't the next time. Its not necessary and the holes show through the frosting.
