RECIPE: Margarita Cake
When I came across this recipe , I had to share it. I've never thought about putting a can of margarita mix into my cakes. I tried this and the cupcakes were soft yummy and moist. I don't know if Betty Crocker had this type of variation in mind when she put the instructions on the back of the mix. I would dye the cake a festive color like orange and color the frosting yellow and green for a fun swirl. Enjoy !!
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cake mix, egg whites, frozen margarita mix, vegetable oil, lime zest, and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center shows moist crumbs, 30 to 35 minutes. Cake will be very moist. Cool in the pan.
- To make frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter together until light and fluffy, and stir in the lemon peel and 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Beat in the confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl thoroughly with a spatula after each addition. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake.
