Instruction
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F). Generously grease a 12 x 18" rimmed baking sheet; set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, lime zest, and salt.
- Place strawberries, orange juice, and lime juice in the body of a blender and pulse until completely liquified. Remove 3 tablespoons of the puree and set it aside. That will be for your frosting.
- In a large separate bowl, whisk together the remaining strawberry puree, eggs, vanilla and baking soda.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter; set aside.
- Pour the strawberry mixture into the flour mixture and stir to combine.
- Fold in sour cream and butter until completely combined.
- Pour into prepared pan and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cake is set and no longer jiggly in the middle.
- While the cake is baking, make the icing!
- Place the softened butter in a large bowl or body of a stand mixer. Add the tequila, triple sec, and strawberry puree; beat until smooth. Add the confectioners sugar - 1 cup at a time - and stir/ beat vigorously to get all of the lumps out.
- Spread the icing over the cake as soon as it's cooled. Serve at room temperature.
- Cake stays fresh for up to 3 days.
