Oh my goodness! I think hubby and I may hurt ourselves on the cake!
Anyone wanna come by and have a piece???
It is so good it's evil! Really, you cannot tell there is tequila in it... it tastes like a super moist lemon pound cake!

First I looked up a recipe on AllRecipes. Then I tweeked it to suit me, just like any good cook does!
Here's how I did it...

Margarita Cake

1 package white cake mix - I used DH Super Moist White
1 small package instant vanilla pudding mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup lime juice - I used fresh squeezed
1 cup pre-made margarita - I used Jose Cuervo's Golden Margarita (already bottled mixed)

Mix all ingredients in large mixing bowl. Beat on high speed for about two minutes. Pour batter into a greased and floured bundt cake pan. Bake in pre-heated 350 degree oven for 50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Spoon an additional 2-3 tablespoons of margarita over the cake when it comes out of the oven. Let cool in pan about 10 minutes, then turn out onto plate.

1 cup confectioners sugar
3 Tblsp margarita
3 Tblsp lime juice

Mix together until smooth. Pour glaze over cooled cake.

All I can say is YUMMMMMYY!!!!!
My glaze was too thin but I don't care!
