Ingredients
Scale

- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 container whipped topping (Cool Whip)
- 1/2 cup non alcoholic margarita mix

Instructions
- Prepare cake mix according to package directions but replace the water with non alcoholic margarita mix.
- Bake the cake in a prepared pan according to the package instructions.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly while still warm.
- Use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes across the entire cake.
- Mix half the sweetened condensed milk with 1/2 cup margarita mix and pour over the cake letting it soak into the holes.
- In another bowl combine whipped topping, remaining condensed milk, and 1/4 cup margarita mix then fold together.

- Spread the chilled topping evenly over the cake.
- Garnish with fresh lime slices and lemon zest if desired.

- Allow the topping mixture to chill fully before spreading.
- The cake tastes even better after chilling several hours in the refrigerator.
