Can you substitute strawberries or the juice, instead of the drink mix?

Your recipe calls for 18.5 cake mix, many now only come 15.25 oz. do recipes have to be readjusted for the smaller size cake mixes?

I made it with the smaller size cake mix and it turned out fine. The cake was good, although I found the icing a little heavy. I think next time I would put a layer of strawberries on top of the cake and then use whipped topping mixed with the margarita mix.

I made this cake using my old fashioned the Bundt pan using Cactus Margarita juice from Texas, I decorated the top with lime wedges and course sugar from cookie decorating days. All I can say the cake was beautiful ton see and tasted out of this word ! Both easy and de-lish. Thanks, Beth

Sounds yummy! Wondering if a yellow cake mix could be used instead of white?

I would think so. I'm going to try it & use a yellow or "butter creme" type cake mix.

I cannot answer whether or not a yellow cake mix could be used; I would think so. I did make the cake in a bundt pan.......to try the above recipe (cactusmargarita) with the Cactus juice, and it WAS really good!
