    Set oven @ 350┬║F/175┬║C.

    Line 3 greased 8" round baking pans with parchment, set

    In a large bowl, cream sugar, butter and oil until light
    and fluffy, 5-6 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time,
    until fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Beat in lime juice, lime zest

    speed until smooth, 3-4 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to
    medium-low; beat in confectioners' sugar, cream, lime
    juice and lime zest. Increase speed to medium-high; beat
    until well combined.

    Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate; frost top with
    3/4 cup frosting. Repeat layers. Top with remaining cake
    layer. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining
    frosting. If desired, sprinkle with graham cracker
    crumbs.
