Strawberry Margarita Cake recipe

Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup bottled strawberry-flavored nonalcoholic margarita drink mix
  • 1 (18.25 ounce) box Betty Crocker SuperMoist white cake mix*
  • Vegetable oil and egg whites called for on cake mix box
  • 1 tablespoon grated lime peel**
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed***
  • Strawberries, if desired

  2. Add enough water to drink mix to measure 1 1/4 cups.
  3. In large bowl, beat cake mix, drink mix, oil and egg whites on low speed 2 minutes. Pour into pan.
  4. Bake and cool and directed on box.
  5. Gently stir lime peel into whipped topping; spread over top of cake.
  6. Garnish with strawberries.
  7. Store covered in refrigerator.

Notes

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* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes.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.
