Filling is very loose

tbdw_tbdw - April 8, 2007 11:59:28 AM PST

Sweetened condensed milk just isn\'t thick enough with such a small amount to lime juice added. I liked everything else about the cake, but a true lime or lemon curd makes a much better filling

Filling is a mess

bopeep - April 7, 2007 07:35:51 AM PST

I made this today for Easter. The condensed milk filling is not thick enough and it poured our all over the cake plate as I assembled it; So I put it all back in a pie pan and will present it as such, but I am really disappointed. Looks pretty in the picture, but in reality, there is a problem with the recipe IMO.

Runny filling? Not me...

I\'m kinda shocked to see all these runny filling comments because mine didn\'t turn out that way. I took the condensed milk and instead of buying the actual key limes and juicing them, I bought the key lime juice in the little plastic squirt bottle, and then just squirted some in. (I didn\'t measure it...) My key lime filling was full and almost sticky it was so thick, but it still had plenty of key lime flavor!!

Much easier....

Sabrina - June 12, 2008 10:48:40 AM PST

This cake can be made so much easier.....as said with most other reviews, the filling is too runny....so, the 2nd time I made this....I used lime pudding for the filling, and added lime zest to it....white cake mix for the cake....and whipped cream in place of the meringue. And it was actually so much better! And a lot less time consuming.

No wonder its low calorie

I made this cake and found that it was less than an inch thick. If you want a good key lime recipe find one that is not out of EatingWell.

Will make again

This is a good cake and if you stick to the serving size, it is much better for you than traditional cake and icing. I added only half the sugar to the meringue to cut some of the sugar. We still like key lime and lemon meringue pie better but this is a nice change of pace. This cake also makes a nice presentation.

Key Lime Meringue Cake - Eating Well with Yahoo!

Dimples - April 5, 2007 12:42:25 PM PST

I have been looking for a recipe for this cake for the longest time and Thanks Yahoo! I really needed it because this is my favorite cake. I bake cakes for me and my husband but they\'re always chocolate, vanilla, or stawberry. I wanted something different so I\'ll try this one. Thanks again Yahoo! This\'ll be a nutritious meal, as well.
