really bland; just a strawberry cake mix with a bit of different flavor liquid thrown in, but not enough to make a difference. Don't waste your time on this one.

This is a wonderfully refreshing cake to serve in the middle of a HOT summer. Brought it to work for a pot-luck and it was gone in less than 5 minutes (no kidding). Not only did it get RAVE reviews from all who ate it, but I shared the recipe with at least 6 other people who also claim it to be one of the best cakes they've ever had. Thanks for sharing!!

Very great cake! I made this for Memorial day and everyone loved it. I added some extra margarita mix and used some limes along with strawberries to decorate it (see photos). I will be making this again.

Too sweet! However, my young son and our friends loved it...thus the 4 stars. If I would make this again, I would not use a box cake mix but rather a "scratch" recipe so I could control the sweetness.

Made this recipe for a Cinco de Mayo luncheon, and it was extremely well received. People appreciated the fact that it was "different," and not in a negative way. It was extremely easy to prepare and serve as well.

I made this recipe last night only with regular non-alcoholic margarita mix rather than strawbery. I found the recipe through Betty Crocker website and it was the exact same recipe and is very light and fresh. My Euchre Card club loved it! If you are looking for sweet/salty flavors, this is it - not heavy and rich like so many desserts can be!

I made this cake for my office Christmas party and it was by far the most talked about dessert there. I followed the directions precisely as stated and could not believe how moist and tasty that it was. All my female co-workers could not belive that I made it myself. It is definitely one that will be used again and again.....

I used this recipe for a friend's baby shower in the summer and now I have people asking me to bring it for work functions. This is a very easy recipe.

i followed this one very closly.. personally, I found it too sweet for me. If you don't like overly sweet things, add less strawberry mix maybe?? everything was great!

LOVED the idea of a margarita cake, i did a little changes, i made a double layer 9in round cake, and used 3/4 of the can of margarita mix for the cake mix. the remainder of the margarita mix was whipped with the cool whip, and placed between the layers with a layer of fresh strawberries as well. the remainder of the cake was topped with cool whip, the sides fresh strawberries, and the top was the lime zest that was tossed in sugar. BEAUTIFUL cake that tasted GREAT!!! LADIES NIGHT loved it!!

This cake was simple to make, refreshing, and an overall hit at the Cinqo de Mayo party to which I brought it. Personally, I believed it could have been a bit less sweet and had a less "boxed" taste. I garnished with fresh stawberries.

I like this recipe, however, I had a problem with the whipped topping. It was messy and didn't stick that well. I would recommend it but I would love to hear some other ideas about the topping. Lime Zest was great! It makes it!!!

Sorry...did not care for this cake. The flavor of the Strawberry Margarita mix just was not great with the cake. And the cake mix was not altered enough to not TASTE like a boxed mix. The coolwhip as a frosting didn't go well either. Won't be making this one again. If I get the urge for a Strawberry-Lime type cake, I'll make a real Strawberry layer cake and put lime curd between the layers.

I made the recipe mostly as written, only a few changes made.. one, I increased the amount of Strawberry Margarita mix and decreased the amount of water, just by a little bit. I disagree that a boxed strawberry cake mix would be the same, or easier. For one thing, I could not find a strawberry cake mix when I shopped. And the margarita mix adds just that slight bit of tangy flavor that makes it taste, well, margarita-ish. The only other change I made was to add fresh halved strawberries on top. Oh, and I tossed the lime zest with a tiny tiny bit of sugar. The cake was a hit.

Great cake, I agree a strawberry cake mix would probably be just as good. On the other hand, use the leftover strawberry margarita mix and make some margaritas, might as well. I had several requests for this recipe and will make it again. Easy and delicious.

I first made this for Father's Day (2002) and got rave reviews. I just made it last night for my monthly dinner group-more rave reviews! It's very light and moist - perfect after a "heavy" winter meal! I put strawberries cut in half on top of the frosting then cover with the zest. I promised to make this more often - my husband wants to take one to his office!

I use applesauce instead of oil and this makes the cake very moist. This cake is requested often and I never have any leftovers!!
