Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box butter or white cake mix
- Non alcoholic margarita mix
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 container whipped topping (Cool Whip)
- 1/2 cup margarita mix
- 1/4 cup margarita mix
- Fresh lime slices for garnish (optional)
- Lemon zest for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Bake the cake according to the package directions but replace the water with non alcoholic margarita mix.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly while still warm then poke holes all over using the handle of a wooden spoon.
- Mix half a can of sweetened condensed milk with 1/2 cup margarita mix and pour evenly over the cake filling the holes.

- Spread the chilled topping over the cake and garnish with lime slices and lemon zest before serving.
Notes

- Refrigerate the topping mixture so it firms before spreading.
- The cake tastes even better after chilling several hours or overnight.
