Tips:

Prep All Your Ingredients First: Measuring and prepping all ingredients before you start baking will ensure the process goes smoothly and efficiently.
Use Fresh Key Limes: The fresher the key limes, the better the flavor of your cake will be. If you can't find key limes, you can use regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
Make Sure Your Butter and Cream Cheese Are at Room Temperature: This will help them cream together smoothly and create a light and fluffy frosting.
Chill the Cake Before Frosting It: This will help the frosting set more quickly and prevent it from melting.
Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Use a Springform Pan: A springform pan will make it easy to remove the cake from the pan without damaging it.
Serve the Cake Chilled: Key lime cake is best served chilled. This will help the flavors meld together and create a delicious, refreshing dessert.
