How to Make Strawberry Margarita Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
  3. In a liquid measuring cup, add enough water to a package of strawberry margarita mix to reach the 1 1/4 cup mark. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, beat together one box (typically 15.25 oz) of white cake mix, the prepared strawberry margarita mix (1 1/4 cups), 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 3 large egg whites on low speed for 2 minutes.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  6. Bake for 28-33 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan for at least one hour.
  8. While the cake cools, prepare 12 ounces of whipped topping (like Cool Whip). Gently stir in the finely grated zest of one lime.
  9. Once the cake is completely cool, frost it evenly with the lime-flavored whipped topping.
  10. Garnish with lime wedges and fresh strawberries, if desired.
