penny's Notes:

Serve this fun cake with your next southwestern recipe to round out your themed meal...
It's "Diabetic-Friendly" so you can have your cake and eat it too!

This recipe came from a "Keep it Simple" Diabetic Cookbook, so...sorry I can't take the credit for it... :(

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Coat 13x9x2-inch pan with non-stick cooking spray.

In medium mixing bowl, mix pretzels, brown sugar and melted butter.
Press into pan.

In large mixing bowl, beat cake mix, margarita mix, oil, lime rind and egg whites until well mixed.
CAREFULLY pour batter over pretzel mixture.

Bake in 350 degree F oven, for 25 to 30 minutes or until light golden brown and top springs back when touched lightly in the center.
Cool completely on cooling rack.
Frost with whipped topping; sprinlke with additional lime rind.
Cover.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Serve.
Enjoy!
Refrigerate leftovers in covered cake taker.
*** Cake Tidbit: Grated lime rind infuses the cake with lime flavor, it's a must to include!

Made this cake for my Great nephew's 23rd birthday celebration on Sunday. It was a "Hit"! Does not taste "diabetic-friendly" in the least! There was probably 20 people there for lunch ... nobody would have known it was "diabetic-friendly" if I hadn't told them.
