Chef's Note & Story
Chocolate frozen whipped topping also makes a great "frosting" for this dreamy cake. Stir orange peel instead of lime into the chocolate topping.
Before grating the lime peel, wash the lime thoroughly and wipe dry. The peel will grate much easier.
This was excellent! I added lime juice and it tasted great. I also made cupcakes instead of a cake.
