Sugar free Margarita Cake


Ok I was asked to try to make this as sugar free as possible. I think I am an over-achiever but I did it!!!! First let me say Thank You to "Just a Pinch Recipe Club" and Nancy Thomas for sharing the original recipe. It sounds awesome, but I needed an alternative!!!
Here goes:

For Cake:
4 eggs (I used an Omega 3 rich egg) you could use a substitute here I suppose
1 box sugar free instant pudding (I used a large box)
10 oz or 1 1/4 cup No sugar added margarita mix (Master of Mixes) found at Wal Mart for me.
2 tsp lime juice
1 Tbsp lime zest

For Glaze:
1 container of Pillsbury Sugar free white icing/frosting Softened in the microwave
1 Tbsp of Margarita mix
1 Tbsp lime zest
(This made WAY more than I needed so I put the rest back in the container for a later use.

Preheat oven to 350ᵒ and prepare a Bundt style pan with a non-stick spray.
Mix butter, eggs, margarita mix, lime juice and zest together.
Add cake mix and pudding then mix til well blended.
Pour batter in pan and bake for 45-55 mins Let cool 10- 15 minutes & remove from pan. ( I just turned mine over and it popped out and was fine.)

Combine the remaining ingredients for glaze until it is smooth. Pour/drizzle over slightly cooled but still warm cake. I used about 1/3 of the glaze on my cake. I squeezed some fresh lime juice over the cake and added a few pieces of lime to decorate.

Enjoy!!!!! Hope you like it!!!
