Now you can have your cake and drink it too! This is a refreshing cool cake that is perfect for a 21st Birthday or Cinco De Mayo! A non-alcoholic version can be made by substituting cold water in place of the tequila and Grand Marnier. Cheers!

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 box white or yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1/4 c vegetable oil
1 1/4 c margarita mix
1 box (3 ounce) box lime Jell-o
3/4 c boiling water
3/4 c tequila with 1 1/2 ounce of it grand marnier
1 8 ounce container whipped topping (thawed)

  • 2. Bake at 350-degree oven for 30-35 minutes and the cake is done. (To test for doneness, insert a wooden toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.)
  • 3. Let cake cool completely, about two hours.
  • 4. To make the topping: Dissolve the Jell-O powder completely in boiling water, then add in the Grand Mariner and tequila; mix well.
  • 5. Poke holes over cake with a straw. Drizzle Jell-O mixture over entire top of cake. Refrigerate cake for 2 or more hours until ready to serve.
  • 6. Just before serving, top cake with Cool Whip topping and top with lime zest and lime garnish.

This cake was a disaster! The batter was too runny and the cake didn't rise properly. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.

The cake was moist and flavorful, but the glaze was a bit too tart for my taste. I would recommend using less lime juice in the glaze, or adding a little bit of sugar to balance out the tartness.

This cake was easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought margarita mix to save time, and it still tasted delicious. I would recommend this recipe to anyone who loves margaritas or lime-flavored desserts.

I'm not a huge fan of margaritas, but this cake was surprisingly good. The cake itself was moist and fluffy, and the lime glaze added a nice tartness. I would definitely make this again, even for non-margarita lovers.
