Recipe Summary Margarita Cake With Key Lime Cream Cheese Frosting

You can even make an adult version, by adding 3 shots of either rum or tequila to the icing! I make this cake for parties and on birthdays.

Ingredients | Birthday Party Desserts For Adults

1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix

3 egg whites

1 (10 fluid ounce) can frozen margarita mix (such as Bacardi®), thawed

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 tablespoon grated lime peel

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 tablespoon grated lemon peel

1 tablespoon lime juice

5 cups confectioners' sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch cake pan.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cake mix, egg whites, frozen margarita mix, vegetable oil, lime zest, and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center shows moist crumbs, 30 to 35 minutes. Cake will be very moist. Cool in the pan.

To make frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter together until light and fluffy, and stir in the lemon peel and 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Beat in the confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl thoroughly with a spatula after each addition. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake.

You may use your favorite 1-2-3-4 cake recipe if you'd prefer to make this cake from scratch.

To make a layer cake instead, grease and flour 2 8-inch round cake pans, pour the batter into the prepared pans, and bake as directed in Step 3. Cool the cakes in their pans for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Make frosting as directed.
