For an extra burst of lime flavor, consider adding lime zest to both the cake batter and the frosting. Ensure that the cream cheese and butter are adequately softened to prevent a lumpy frosting. To prevent the cake layers from sticking, line the bottoms of the cake pans with parchment paper rounds. Garnish the finished cake with lime slices or zest for a visually appealing presentation.
