Also, don't add all liquid at once. Make a paste with sugar and a bit of liquid, then slowly beat in the rest of liquid when up the paste is free of lumps.
I make a margarita cake, too. Congratulations on a pretty cake.
In answer to your glaze question: Always sift your sugar and use room temp ingredients. Lumps can occur with cold liquid. I just use a fork, not a whisk.
To boost this cake, I substitute a small bottle premixed Margarita, the "C" brand., instead of the plain mix. I also sprinkle the tiniest bit of margarita or kosher salt on top. Salt and sweet are compatible, especially in a Margarita Cake! I just fedexed this to someone for Cinco de Mayo.
Well, I didn't beat mine or anything. I used powdered sugar, lime juice and lime zest and just used a whisk to whip it up.
Maybe you used to much liquid or didn't whisk enough. I don't know.
Thanks. I think it was a cute twist but my drizzle didn't turn out smooth. It still tasted good but any suggestions on how to get the sugar smoothed out and not lumpy? I actually tried two batches and they turned out kinda lumpy both times. Any ideas?
