• preheat oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c). spray a 9-cup fluted tube pan with cooking spray that contains flour, and brush the spray into the grooves of the pan with a pastry brush. spray 1 more light coating of cooking spray, and invert the pan to let any excess spray drip out.
• in a mixing bowl, beat together the orange cake mix, lemon pudding mix, eggs, vegetable oil, mix, lime juice, tequila, and triple sec until thoroughly combined. fold in the grated zest of 1 lime, and pour the batter into the prepared fluted tube pan. use a spatula to fill grooves of the pan with batter, and tap the filled cake pan to remove air pockets.
• bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
• cool the cake in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, shake it a couple of times to help the sides release, and slide a thin silicone or nylon spatula between the cake and the pan. place a serving plate over the top of the cake pan and invert the pan to slide the cake the serving plate. allow the cake to finish cooling.
