Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 white cake mix one standard box; do not also add the box-listed ingredients
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • Zest of 2 limes
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp tequila optional
  • 1 cup whipped cream for topping
  • Extra lime zest for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to the temperature specified on the cake-mix box. Line two 12-cup muffin tins, or plan to bake in batches.
  2. Mix the dry cake mix, sour cream, eggs, and lime zest until smooth; do not add the additional ingredients listed on the box. Fill the cups two-thirds full.
  3. Bake for the box's cupcake time and cool slightly. Poke holes in each cupcake with a fork.
  4. Whisk the condensed milk, evaporated milk, heavy cream, and optional tequila. Spoon it gradually over the cupcakes so it can soak in.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Top with whipped cream and lime zest before serving.
