Easy Dinner Recipes: Key Lime Angel Food Cake

Ok so it's not an easy dinner recipe but yum and easy still apply... I baked this one last weekend for a friend's birthday and everyone went nuts over it.  The lightness of the angel food cake mixed with a little tart - well it just works.

1	box Betty Crocker® white angel food cake mix
1 1/4	cups cold water
1	can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/3	cup Key lime or regular lime juice
1	teaspoon grated lime peel
1	container (12 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1	cup flaked coconut
	Sliced kiwifruit and strawberries, if desired

1.	Make cake mix as directed on package, using cold water. Cool cake completely. Cut cake horizontally into 3 layers. Place bottom layer, cut side up, on serving plate.
2.	In large bowl, beat milk, lime juice and lime peel with wire whisk until smooth and thickened. Fold in whipped topping.
3.	Spread 1 cup lime mixture evenly over top of first layer of cake. Place second layer of cake carefully on bottom layer; spread evenly with 1 cup lime mixture. Top with remaining layer of cake.
4.	Frost top and side of cake with remaining lime mixture. Sprinkle with coconut. Garnish cake with kiwifruit and strawberries.
