Here's the thing: My wife is a much, much better cook than I am. Seriously, she doesn't need tons of cookbooks or tips or people shouting at her from the t.v. But my family hasn't quite figured out what to do for her yet in terms of gifts. So she received this "Arizona Margarita Tequila-Lime Cake Mix" in her stocking this past X-mas.
Mix the dry ingredients with an egg, a little oil, some water, and yes, tequila and you're ready to make a cake. Yes, I used Patron. It may be criminal but it was the only tequila in the house and I'll be dammed if I'll buy a bottle of Cuervo just to make a cake.
It came out beautifully. While it cooled, we made a quick lime juice and sugar icing to drizzle over the top of it.
It was a seriously good cake. Much better than we had expected; the tequila and lime flavors were strong, but not over-powering and tasted good. We want more. Now.
