1 box White cake mix

1 package Lime gelatin mix

1 cup Boiling water

1/2 cup Ice water

1/4 cup Tequila

2 tablespoons Lime juice

1 container Whipped topping

1 teaspoon Lime zest

1. Prepare the white cake mix according to the package instructions and bake it in a 9×13-inch dish. Let it cool completely.

2. Using a fork or skewer, poke holes all over the surface of the cake.

3. In a bowl, dissolve the lime gelatin mix in boiling water. Stir in ice water, tequila, and lime juice until well combined.

4. Pour the gelatin mixture evenly over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes.

5. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the gelatin to set.

6. Spread whipped topping over the chilled cake and garnish with lime zest.

7. Serve chilled and enjoy your Limen Margarita Poke Cake!

Pro-Tips:

• Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor; bottled just doesn’t compare!

• Let the cake cool completely before poking holes to avoid crumbling.

• Don’t skip the tequila—it’s what gives this cake its signature flavor. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute with lime soda.

• Chill the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld together.

Variations:

• Strawberry Margarita: Swap lime gelatin for strawberry gelatin and add fresh strawberry slices on top.

• Coconut Margarita: Add a splash of coconut rum to the gelatin mixture and sprinkle toasted coconut on top.

• Spicy Margarita: Add a pinch of chili powder to the whipped topping for a sweet and spicy kick.
