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.
