ingredients
1 1/2 cup coarsely crushed pretzels
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 package white cake mix
1 1/4 cup bottled margarita mix
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon lime peel, grated
3 egg whites
8 ounces frozen non-dairy whipped topping, thawed
grated lime peel, optional
directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 13x9 baking pan.
Combine the pretzels, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until completely mixed. Sprinkle the crumb mixture in the bottom of the prepared pan and press gently to form a crust. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, margarita mix, oil, lime peel, and egg whites with an electric mixer on low speed. Mix for 30 seconds to just combine. Scrape the sides then beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the sides as needed.
Pour the cake batter over the pretzel crust in the prepared pan. Place the pan in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until the cake is light golden brown and the top springs back when lightly touched.
Remove from the oven and place the pan on a cooling rack. Let it cool for 2 hours (or until completely cooled).
When the cake is cooled frost the cake with the whipped topping and decorate with the grated lime peel if desired.
Store the cake, covered, in the refrigerator.

Awesome cake! Easy to make with ingredients that can be kept at home and "whipped" up in a pinch. Have made it on two different occasions and it was a hit at both events. Love the combination of salty sweet pretzel crust and the cake. Cake has a more "dense" texture, but perfect. I used an entire container of cool whip on top of the 9x13 and it was the perfect amount of topping. Try it, you'll love it!

Great recipe. The pretzel base adds a little something extra that the other recipes for Marguarita cake don't have. Everyone loved the cake. And the extra effort is really no effort at all. I'll make it again and again.
