I don't remember where I got this recipe from... I'm pretty sure it's a mixture of two to three recipes but this one works really well.  It turned out really fluffy and moist and delicious!  Also, I ran out of all purpose flour so I had to use whole wheat flour.  I just added a little more sugar and lime to adjust to the taste of whole wheat flour.
