For a more intense lime flavor, use freshly squeezed Key lime juice. Bottled juice can also be used, but the flavor may not be as pronounced. Be careful not to overbake the cake, as it will dry out. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached. When making the lime curd, it's important to stir constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling and the curd from burning. Chilling the lime curd completely before making the frosting is crucial for achieving a stable and spreadable consistency.
