Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

FOR CAKE
1 box cake mix, white, yellow or lemon
1 box instant vanilla pudding, 4 serving size
2/3 c prepared margarita mix (non-alcohol version)
1/2 c canola or vegetable oil
1/3 c sugar
4 large eggs
1 zest of lime
FOR ICING
1 1/2 c powdered sugar
3 - 4 Tbsp prepared margarita mix (non-alcohol version)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Spray an angel food tube pan or bundt cake pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • 3. Place all cake ingredients in a large bowl. With an electric hand mixer, start beating on low to combine ingredients. When dry ingredients are moistened, increase mixer speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl several times.
  • 4. Pour cake mix into prepared pan.
  • 5. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean.
  • 6. Let cake sit for 20 minutes, remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
  • 7. While cake cools mix powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of margarita mix, adding more margarita mix if necessary to achieve a smooth consistency.
  • 8. Using a wooden or metal skewer, poke 20 - 30 holes in the top of the cake.
  • 9. Pour glaze over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides of the cake.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, gather all the necessary ingredients and equipment. This will ensure a smooth and efficient baking process.
  • Use Fresh Limes: For the most flavorful margarita, use freshly squeezed lime juice. Avoid bottled or store-bought lime juice, which can have a less vibrant taste.
  • Zest the Limes: To enhance the citrus flavor, zest the limes before juicing them. The zest contains flavorful oils that will add depth to the cake.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake Until a Toothpick Inserted in the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is fully baked. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean, with no batter clinging to it.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely: Before frosting the cake, allow it to cool completely. This will prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.
  • Use a Margarita Mix for the Frosting: For an extra margarita flavor, use a margarita mix to make the frosting. This will give the frosting a tangy, citrusy flavor that complements the cake perfectly.
  • Decorate with Lime Slices and Margarita Salt: For a festive presentation, decorate the cake with lime slices and margarita salt. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the cake.

Conclusion:

The margarita tube cake is a delicious and festive cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, fluffy texture, tangy margarita flavor, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit. Whether you're celebrating Cinco de Mayo, a birthday, or just a special day, this cake is sure to put a smile on everyone's face. So next time you're looking for a fun and flavorful cake, give the margarita tube cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
