Ingredients
For the cake
Nonstick cooking spray
- 1
box white cake mix
- 1 cup
water
- 1/3 cup
- 3
egg whites
Zest of 1 lime
For the tequila frosting
- 1 cup
(2 sticks) butter, softened
- 4 cups
powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup
tequila
- 3 Tbsp.
fresh lime juice
Zest of 1 lime
- 1
lime, halved and very thinly sliced, for garnish
- 1/2 tsp.
salt
Directions
- Step 1Make cake: Preheat oven to 350° and line a 9”-x-13” metal pan with parchment paper leaving at least a two-inch overhang on the two long sides. Grease with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, Duke's Mayonnaise, egg whites, and lime zest and blend on medium-high until smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour into the prepared pan and bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, about 28 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Step 2Meanwhile, make frosting: In another large bowl, using a hand mixer, beat butter with half the powdered sugar until smooth. Add remaining powdered sugar, tequila, lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and beat until fluffy.
- Step 3Assemble the cake: Using the parchment overhang, remove cake from pan and place on a platter. Spread frosting evenly over the top. Top with lime slices and lime zest and serve.
Don't have parchment paper or a metal pan? For step 1, use a 9”-x-13” glass pan and cooking spray.
