Non-alcoholic strawberry margarita mix makes this party cake a great addition to picnics and potlucks.
Yield: 12 servings
High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Add enough water to drink mix to measure 1 1/2 cups. Follow High Altitude cake mix directions for 13 x 9-inch pan.
* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
** Before grating the lime peel, wash the lime thoroughly and wipe dry. The peel will grate much easier.
*** Chocolate frozen whipped topping also makes a great "frosting" for this dreamy cake. Stir orange peel instead of lime into the chocolate topping.
