Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Orange cake mix
- 3 oz Orange-flavored Jello (gelatin)
- 0.333 cup Vegetable oil
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 tsp Orange zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or bundt pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the orange cake mix, orange-flavored Jello, vegetable oil, eggs, and water.
Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the mixture on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth and well-incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While the cake bakes, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, fresh orange juice, and orange zest until smooth.
Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.
While the cake is still warm, use a fork or skewer to poke small holes evenly across its surface.
Pour the orange glaze over the warm cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving for best results.
