Cajun Cook-Out Menu - Part II + Bayou Boogie

With just a few days left to prepare for our cook out, I've been looking over my summer recipes and asking the gang what desserts they would like.They said that they would love to have these scrumptious desserts, below. Plus, I'm adding a Margarita cake that my dear friend,  B.J., over at Sweet Nothings, recently posted on her blog that her daughter made. I made it with a few changes and doubled the delicious glaze recipe, but you can see the original recipe here. Sinfully delicious, cher, and well worth the calories and so easy, too! Bon appetit!

 Margarita Cake

1 box lemon cake mix
1 small box instant vanilla pudding
4 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup tequila
2 tbs.'s triple sec or orange juice

Glaze

2 cups powdered sugar
2 tbs.'s tequila
4  tbs.'s triple sec
4 tbs.'s lime juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a bundt pan with Baker's Joy, baking spray. Mix all ingredients in large bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes.

 Pour into prepared pan and bake @ 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for about 15 minutes on wire rack and invert onto cake plate.

Combine the glaze ingredients and whisk until smooth. Poke holes in cake and pour over warm cake.

 Out of this world!

 Enjoy!

I'll be sharing these at  Foodie Friday,  Saturday Night Special ,  Sweets for a Saturday,
Seaside Simplicity, Sunday Showcase, and Savory Sunday.

Bayou Boogie

We passed an absolute bon' ton' at the T.G.I.F. Friday night block party, at Downtown Alive last night.  It was a very warm evening, but it didn't stop this bunch of Cajuns from dancing up a storm in Parc Sans Souci.

Horace Trahan and the New Ossun Express were rockin' the crowd and there was a whole lotta dancin' going on! The fiesty crowd was loving this band and this "oldie but goodie" song.

Here's a little clip that I took of the dancers and there was a whole lotta fast jitter-buggin' going on. They were working up quite a sweat on this one. Crank it up and let the good times roll, cher!

Wishing all of you a fabulous, fun weekend, filled with good times! Merci for stopping by!
