Description

This moist orange juice cake is a citrusy twist on rum cake, made with yellow cake mix, pudding, and a buttery orange glaze.

Ingredients

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup cold water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
3/4 cup orange juice
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter
confectioners sugar

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large Bundt pan.
2 Combine cake mix, pudding mix, water, oil, and eggs together in a large bowl. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined, about 2 minutes. Pour batter into Bundt pan.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
4 Combine juice, sugar, and butter in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil for about 2 minutes; cool slightly.
5 Poke holes all over the top of the warm cake with a fork or skewer. Pour the warm orange glaze evenly over the cake while still in the pan. Cool for 10 minutes.
6 Invert the cake onto a serving plate. Dust with confectioners’ sugar, if desired, before serving.
