The egg whites add structure to the cake and the vanilla adds some flavor to balance out the tequila and lime. The remainder of batter is made by alternating the addition of the dry ingredients with some milk and the lime juice and zest and tequila. This margarita cake uses a full half cup of tequila to give it lots of flavor!
In a large bowl combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, oil, water, lemon juice 1/4 cup tequila and 2 tablespoons triple sec. Beat for 2 minutes. Pour batter into prepared pan.
For the frosting, mix the softened butter until smooth. Slowly add the powdered sugar, salt, tequila, lime juice and milk. Mix on medium speed for 3 minutes adding a bit more liquid if needed or more powdered sugar if too thin. Reduce speed of mixer to low and mix 3 more minutes or until the buttercream is creamy and smooth.
There’s also a quarter cup of lime juice and some lime zest. I would say though that the tequila is the stronger flavor in the cake. Additional lime flavor comes from the frosting. You can certainly reduce the tequila a bit and add a little more milk, if you want to tone it down a bit.
