Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix
- 0.75 cup orange juice
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 0.33 cup orange juice (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard bundt cake pan or use non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, 3/4 cup of orange juice, vegetable oil, and eggs.
Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake bakes, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, unsalted butter, and 1/3 cup of orange juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the glaze is smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the cake is finished baking, allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a wire rack or serving plate.
While the cake is still warm, use a skewer or toothpick to create small holes in the surface of the cake. Slowly pour the glaze evenly over the top, allowing it to seep into the holes.
Cool the cake completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Orange Juice Cake!
