Strawberry Margarita Cake Recipe, I'd love itIf you could post this recipe, I'd love it, I've done quite a few Margaritaville Parties and this I'm sure would be a hit. One of my May Hostesses LOVES strawberries, so I'm looking for lots of options to give her to select from.

Thanks,

Lisa
 
Here's the recipe for Strawberry Margarita Cake :)
Vanilla Cake Mix
Plus ingredients to make cake MINUS 1/2 cup of water if there is a lot of juice from the strawberries.
Strawberry Kool-Aid unsweetened packet
1 small container THAWED frozen strawberries
You can use fresh sliced strawberries.
1 lime - juice and zest
1 container vanila flavored icing
You can add food coloring if you wish.
1 tsp. rum extract - optional

1. Mix cake mix with oil/water, kool-aid, rum extract, finely chopped lime zest
2. Drop strawberries on top before baking, as they will sink through the cake during baking
3. Bake in oiled fluted stone in microwave for 11-13 minutes - top of cake should be done. Cool cake.
4. Mix lime juice and frosting to taste.
Enjoy :)
Let me know how this turns out. I haven't tried it yet. :)
I also have a few other margarita recipes such as : Strawberry Margarita Squares, Frozen Margarita Fruit Platter, and Margarita Punch.
Let me know if you would like me to post them.

They do but it's a whole different taste. ;) I think you would want the salty flavor that pretzels give with a Margarita recipe.
 
Other Strawberry Recipes, I'd love themThanks so much for this, my hubby is a strawberry fan, I'll have to get ingredients and test it, I'm sure I can twist his arm to eat it, lol. Alone with my 3 dds, they love testing recipes!!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Margarita Cake and how is it made?

A Margarita Cake is a delicious dessert inspired by the classic cocktail, featuring flavors of lime, tequila, and orange liqueur. To make it, you typically start with a lime-flavored cake mix, add lime juice and zest, and incorporate tequila for that authentic margarita taste. The cake is often topped with a lime-flavored frosting and garnished with lime slices or salt for a festive touch.

What are some fun show ideas for an April 1st Pampered Chef event?

For an April 1st show, consider incorporating a "Margarita Madness" theme where guests can sample different margarita recipes alongside the Margarita Cake. You can also host a "Cooking with a Twist" segment where participants can create playful dishes with unexpected ingredients. Another idea is to have a "Fool's Day" contest where guests can share their funniest cooking mishaps for a chance to win a Pampered Chef product.

How can I incorporate Pampered Chef products into a Margarita Cake recipe?

You can use various Pampered Chef tools to enhance your Margarita Cake preparation. For example, the Mix 'N Chop is great for blending the cake batter, while the Classic Batter Bowl is perfect for mixing and measuring ingredients. Additionally, the Silicone Baking Mat can be used to prevent sticking when baking, and the Easy Read Measuring Cups ensure accurate measurements for your ingredients.

What are some tips for hosting a successful Pampered Chef show?

To host a successful Pampered Chef show, start by inviting a diverse group of friends and family who enjoy cooking. Create an engaging atmosphere with fun themes, like the Margarita Madness idea. Offer samples of the Margarita Cake and other dishes made with Pampered Chef products. Encourage interaction by having guests participate in cooking demonstrations and provide incentives for bookings or purchases, such as discounts or giveaways.

How do I promote my Pampered Chef show to get more attendees?

Promote your Pampered Chef show by utilizing social media platforms to create buzz. Share enticing photos of the Margarita Cake and other dishes you plan to showcase. Consider creating an event page on Facebook and sending out personalized invitations via email or messaging. Additionally, you can offer early bird incentives for RSVPs or host a giveaway for attendees to encourage participation.
