Lucky Lime Cake

As a little girl, I would have picked ice cream over cake any day.

The older I get however, the more I come to accept and love this under appreciated sweet treat.

Perhaps it's Spenser fault?

He loves cake, and it's not unusual to see him baking a cake on Sundays {or any day for that matter} just because he feels like eating one.

I love that he loves cake.

My favorite is walking downstairs late at night to get a drink or something, only to find him bent over the cake stand, snacking.

But even funnier than that is that he doesn't just cut himself a piece. He  digs a fork right in to the whole thing.

But don't worry, because he makes sure that the cake is "even" and it looks like he did, in fact, cut a piece of cake out with a knife.

tehehe.

that boy.

So for his sweet tooth's sake, I made him a cake.

I guarantee I'll find him, with his midnight snack, evening out the edges late tonight. :)

So with a little inspiration from my mom,

Voila.

The green cake was formed.

It's Super basic.

It's Super yummy.

It's Super easy to eat the whole cake in one sitting.

1 box of white cake mix

small lime jell-o pkg.
