Scale
Cake:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 3.4 oz box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Glaze:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup orange juice (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a Bundt pan thoroughly.
- Mix the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, vanilla pudding mix, eggs, vegetable oil, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
- Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Prepare the glaze: While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by melting the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Glaze the cake: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Invert the cake onto a wire rack or serving plate and immediately spoon the warm glaze over the hot cake.
- Serve: Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can add an extra tablespoon of orange zest to the glaze for more citrus flavor.
