Ingredients

White Cake Mix with pudding in the mix
3 Eggs
Oil
water
2 limes,zested and juiced
2 Tbs orange juice
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
For the whipped cream
1 pkg Cream cheese (8 oz) at room temperature
1 pint Heavy whipping cream (16 oz)
2 C Powdered sugar

Instructions

Prepare cake mix according to directions on the back of the package.Using oil, water and eggs called for. Bake in 9"x13" pan.

Mix together sweetened condensed milk, juices and lime zest.

Remove cake from oven when baked. While cake is hot use a fork to poke holes in top of cake. While cake is still warm pour milk/juice mixture over top of cake. Allow cake to cool completely before frosting.

Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator 15-20 minutes before preparing the whipped topping. At the same time, put your mixing bowl and wire whisk in the freezer to help it get very cold. This is optional, but something I usually do.

Beat cream cheese on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until cream cheese is smooth and free of lumps. Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally.

Add 3 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream. Beat into cream cheese until cream cheese resembles a liquid mixture.

Add remaining heavy whipping cream and beat on medium-high speed. Slowly added remaining powdered sugar and beat until still peaks form. Spread over cooled cake.
