How to cook deliciously - Margarita Cake with Tequila Frosting

1. Stage

Make 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.

2. Stage

Meanwhile, 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.

3. Stage

Assemble 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.
