Suzanne's Notes:

Now you can have your cake and drink it too! This is a refreshing cool cake that is perfect for a 21st Birthday or Cinco De Mayo!

A non-alcoholic version can be made by substituting cold water in place of the tequila and Grand Marnier.

Cheers!

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. I a large mixing bowl, blend all cake ingredients together until smooth. Pour cake batter into a greased (Cooking Spray) 13X9X2 baking pan.

Bake at 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes and the cake is done. (To test for doneness, insert a wooden toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is done)

Let cake cool completely, about two hours.

To make the topping: Dissolve the Jell-O powder completely in boiling water, then add in the Grand Mariner and Tequila; mix well.

Poke holes over cake with a straw. Drizzle Jell-O mixture over entire top of cake. Refrigerate cake for 2 or more hours until ready to serve.

Just before serving, top cake with Cool Whip topping and top with lime zest and lime garnish.

Denise, you can get frozen margarita mix in the frozen food section of the supermarket, in the section where frozen juices are kept. Bottled margarita mix is a shelf item; you might have to ask an employee what aisle it's on.

Sounds delish but have a question before trying it because I've made these kinds of cakes before--do I really wait until the cake is cool before poking and drizzling? Usually I've done this while the cake is still hot..Thanks in advance for answering!

Suzy, often directions can be improved on. Do you remember the very popular rum cake from years ago? The directions said to let it cool before pouring the rum sauce on it, but if you pour the hot rum sauce on it (do not poke holes) as soon as it comes out of the oven, it absorbs it better. When the rum sauce gets down into the bottom of the Bundt pan and reaches a boil on the hot pan, the cake jumps and quivers -- fun to watch! Be sure to turn the cake out after about five minutes, or the sauce will cool and stick the cake to the pan. This cake will probably absorb the sauce better when it's hot.
