This post and recipe was created for #SummerDessertWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.
Delicious Margarita Bundt Cake tastes just like your favorite cocktail, without the booze! And it starts with a cake mix so you know it’s quick and easy!
It’s #SummerDessertWeek time!
This is one of my favorite things I do all year on the blog. #SummerDessertweek is a blog event hosted by the lovely and talented Angie of Big Bear’s Wife. A bunch of us come together to post summer themed recipes – you can find the full list of today’s recipes down below!
We also have several sponsors and and giveaways and you can find that list and the rafflecopter to enter down at the very bottom of this post.
This Margarita Bundt Cake is my first recipe of the week and it’s such a good one! It starts with a cake mix so it’s really easy and it really tastes like a margarita. Minus the booze, of course!
If you love cakes that start with cake mix, my Funfetti Gooey Butter Cake is another delicious summery option!
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter
- 1 (15.25 oz) box lemon cake mix
- 1 (3.2 oz) box instant lemon pudding mix
- 1 (10 oz) can frozen margarita mix – if you can’t find margarita mix, you can use frozen limeade concentrate
- 4 eggs
- 5 tablespoon lime juice
- zest of 1 lime
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Use an electric mixer to cream butter until smooth
- Add cake mix, pudding mix, thawed margarita mix, eggs, 3 tablespoon lime juice, and lime zest
- Mix slowly at first and then beat on high for about 2 minutes
- Pour the batter into a bundt pan sprayed with baking spray and smooth out the top
- Bake at 350F for 45 – 50 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean
- Cool in pan for about 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely
- Once cool, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoon lime juice and powdered sugar until smooth
- Drizzle glaze over cooled cake
How Long Is It Good For?
This Margarita Bundt Cake will be good for 4 – 5 days. Make sure to store it at room temperature in an airtight container (like this airtight cake container) to keep it fresh as long as possible.
I don’t recommend storing it in the refrigerator because that will dry the cake out.
Can You Freeze Bundt Cake?
Yes, you can freeze this cake! I recommend freezing individual slices so you can pull one out whenever you get a craving!
Wrap each slice tightly in plastic wrap and then put all the slices in a freezer ziploc bag. They will be good for up to 6 months in the freezer.
You can also freeze the entire cake by wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap and then placing it in a freezer ziploc bag.
