This is my signature cake (I can't believe I'm sharing it). THIS CAKE IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR OUTSIDE SUMMER PARTIES - the frosting does not hold up well in heat or humidity, it will flop - so keep it in a cool place or refrigerator.

    FROSTING: Combine all ingredients (except key lime juice, vanilla & food coloring) into a stainless steel bowl (works the best). Place over boiling water or dutch oven. Beat with a electric hand mixer at high speed until frosting forms stiff peaks; about 7 minutes). Remove from heat; add key lime juice, vanilla & food coloring.
