Lime Cream Torte

Just a hint of lime in the cake; lots of lime in the filling. Mmmm! My dad often requests this for his birthday.

Grease two 9-inch round cake pans , line with waxed paper and grease waxed paper.

In a mixing bowl , cream the butter and sugar.

Add the flour , lime juice , 1 / 2 cup water and the eggs.

Beat on high 2 minutes.

Add the remaining 1 / 2 cup water along with the rest of the cake ingredients.

Spoon into pans and bake at 375f for approximately 30 minutes , until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool in pans 15 minutes.

Invert on cooling racks , carefully remove waxed paper and cool completely.

Slice each round horizontally to make 4 layers.

Make filling: in a small bowl combine sweetened condensed milk and lime juice , mixing well.

In a large mixing bowl , whip cream till stiff peaks form.

Reserve 1 cup whipped cream.

Fold lime juice mixture into whipped cream just until blended.

Assemble cake: place the first layer cut side up on plate , top with 1 / 3 of filling.

Repeat with remaining layers , the last layer should be cut side down.

Use reserved whipped cream to decorate top.
