Margarita Cake

Total Time: 1 hr 5 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

  • Servings: 12
  • 1 (18 1/4 ounce) box lemon cake mix
  • 1 (3 1/2 ounce) box vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup tequila
  • 2 tablespoons triple sec or 2 tablespoons orange liqueur
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tablespoon tequila
  • 1 tablespoon triple sec or 1 tablespoon orange liqueur
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 12 gummy worms
  • green decorator sugar (optional)

Recipe

  • 1 preheat oven to 350f; grease and flour a 9 x 13 inch cake pan.
  • 2 cake: beat together the cake and pudding mixes, eggs, oil, water, 1/4 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup tequila, and 2 tablespoons triple sec in a large bowl.
  • 3 pour cake batter into the pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or whatever your cake mix box recommends; or until the cake is set and tests done (a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean).
  • 4 cool cake for 10 minutes before pouring the glaze over top.
  • 5 glaze: while the cake is baking, combine confectioners' sugar and one tablespoon each of tequila, triple sec, and lime juice in a small bowl.
  • 6 mix together until smooth.
  • 7 pour over warm cake as directed above in the cake instructions.
  • 8 garnishing: while the glaze is still wet, sprinkle the cake with green decorating sugar (this is optional, but highly recommended since it really does dress up the cake- if you choose to top the cake with cool whip, powdered sugar, or another frosting, put the sugar on after you frost or dust it).
  • 9 serve each piece of cake topped with a gummi worm!
