This is a heavenly cake. Don't skimp on the tequila, because that is what makes it taste like a margarita. You can add whipped cream to each piece, along with a lime, for looks and flavor. I'm not a whipped cream fan, so I skipped that part. Enjoy!
Cake
1 3/4 sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 tsp baking soda
