Coconut Lime Sheet Cake

This Coconut Lime Sheet Cake has a delicious fruity citrus flavor. Both flavors are subtle and not too overbearing, but they really make this cake extraordinary. Coconut and Lime are two flavors meant for each other and pair nicely in this recipe. It is moist and will instantly become a new favorite!

I love fresh flavors this time of year. Lime and Coconut pair extremely well together and make this cake SO delicious.

Both flavors play a subtle role, but when paired together combine for one exquisite mouthful. The cake is so moist and the frosting is so creamy. The toasted coconut on top adds a marvelous texture to each bite.

This cake was adored by all and I am certain you will love it too :)
