- For a more intense lime flavor, you can add a tablespoon of lime extract to the batter.
- If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a 9-inch round cake pan. Just be sure to grease and flour the pan before adding the batter.
- To make the margarita frosting, simply combine the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, lime juice, and tequila in a medium bowl and mix until smooth.
