Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 package lemon cake mix
  • 1 package instant lemon pudding mix
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ cup frozen lemonade concentrate
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoon triple sec
  • ½ cup tequila

Tequila-lime glaze

  • tablespoon tequila
  • 1 tablespoon triple sec
  • ¼ teaspoon zest of a lime
  • 1 tablespoon line juice
  • cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ and grease and flour a bundt pan.
  • In the bowl of a mixer, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, vegetable oil, lemonade, water, eggs, triple sec and tequila and mix for 5 min at medium speed.
  • Pour the batter in the bundt pan and bake for 45 min to an hour or until done, use a toothpick in the center, if it comes out clean, it's done. While the cake is baking, you can make the glaze, so basically add all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk them well, if it needs to be a bit thicker, just add more powdered sugar. Let the cake cool on a wire rack for a few minutes, about 10 minutes, and then remove it from the bundt pan and let it cool completely.
  • Pour the glaze over the cake and you've got yourself a yummy yummy margarita cake.
