I need to find a cake recipe complete with icing. I got it from a friend who moved away and my recipe disappeared (no-she did not take it). The name of the cake is the name of an alcoholic drink although there is no alcohol in it.
It is an easy cake to prepare and when you bake the cake you can spread the cream cheese icing right on it. At least I am 99% sure it is cream cheese. The taste is wonderful and I am waiting for someone to say "I've got it!". Please find it and thank you when you do.
Pina colada cake I use a white cake mix, as box said when it come out, hot poke holes in it and pour cream of coconut over it and then put pineapple on it an cream cheese icing with pecans in it.
The following 2 recipes are for Margarita Cake. There is the traditional lime flavor as well strawberry.

I was going to guess Pina Colada as the drink name just because I have heard of Pina Colada cakes and it seems like a flavor that would go with cream cheese.
Like MCW said it would help to know the drink name or even some ingredients in it.
Maybe look at the list of drink names at the link below and see if any ring a bell.
Found this here on thrifty, not sure if this is what you are looking for but this is delicious!
