Nancy's Notes:

Got this recipe from a cookbook someone I went to school with has put together. I made it for a cookout we had at the lake on Memorial Day weekend & the guys my Husband works with requested it as well. Everyone that has tried it really likes it.

*Side Note*
Since there were many many questions regarding the use of the Liquid Margarita Mix instead of the frozen mix, I subtituted 10 oz of the liquid for the frozen. It came out perfectly.
Also I edited the eggs to say "Room Temperature". This should help with the butter clumping up as well.

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

Perfect picnic pick! Sweet and fruity with just a slight tang, this is a wonderfully refreshing cake that I'd be proud to take to any party or bake sale.

Directions

Pre Heat oven to 350° degrees & prepare Bundt style cake pan. ( I use bakers joy)

Mix butter, eggs, margarita concentrate (completely thaw first or butter will lump), lime juice & zest together.

Add cake mix & pudding mix until well blended.

Pour batter in pan & bake 45-55 minutes. Let cool 10-15 minutes & remove from pan.

While cake is cooling, in saucepan melt butter for glaze. Add remaining ingredients and stir until smooth.

Drizzle Glaze over Cake while it's still warm.

Oh Nancy, This is a must for me! I was just searching for a dessert recipe with lime in it. I love lime more than lemon. I made a cake awhile ago that was a recipe from a lady who won 25K for the recipe and it was delish too. It was a lime and coconut cake but alot of people in my family don't like coconut. I look forward to trying this one. IT sounds so yummy!!!! It looks so good too. Saving in my recipe box. Thanks for the post. Kim
