Tequila Lime Cake with Tequila Lime Buttercream,
Plus Extra Tequila for Good Measure <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When you can’t hug your friends because of #socialdistancing, you do the next best thing — bring them boozy cake balls to celebrate a special occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Cinco de Mayo just behind us, I had margaritas on the brain. (Or maybe I always have margaritas on the brain. No judgment, right?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To put my limes to good use, I decided on a margarita-inspired dessert to celebrate Mother’s Day and a good friend’s birthday at the same event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I planned on using a white cake mix as my base, but I didn’t have one in the cabinet. I did, however, have some cake flour. Turns out, making the tequila-lime cake from scratch yielded an unbelievably light, fluffy chiffon cake that was honestly good enough to be eaten on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you know me. I’m always just a little bit extra. And that’s why you love me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I added boozy tequila-lime buttercream plus a little more booze for good measure to transform a delicious boozy into boozier margarita cake balls. The white chocolate coating is the perfect complement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The result is a light, key lime-flavored tangy-sweet dessert with enough tequila to deepen the flavor. Perfect summer dessert. Perfect girl’s night contribution. Perfect make-anytime-you’re-going-anywhere dessert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are seriously addictive, friends. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
