Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

FOR CAKE
1 box Pillsbury yellow cake mix
1/3 c canola oil
1 c water
3 large eggs
1 box lemon Jell-O instant pudding mix (small box, 3 oz.)
FOR ICING
1/4 c orange juice frozen concentrate
1 c powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Add cake mix, pudding mix, oil, water, and eggs to a large mixing bowl or stand up mixer.
  • 2. Using the paddle attachment mix on low until combined. Then mix for 4 minutes.
  • 3. Grease a Bundt pan with shortening then flour the pan, being careful to shake out the remainder of the flour. I use plain sugar to flour my pans and the cakes pop out great.
  • 4. Next, scrape cake batter from mixing bowl into the bundt pan. Smooth out the top and bake at 350 degrees for 33-36 minutes.
  • 5. My oven runs cold so check your oven at 25-30 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean.
  • 6. Cool the cake for 10 minutes then turn it out onto a cake plate.
  • 7. After the cake has cooled prepare the icing. Mix the powdered sugar, orange juice concentrate, and vanilla to make a nice orange drizzle.
  • 8. Drizzle cake with orange icing. Let the icing set completely before serving. Don't serve this cake without this icing, it just makes this cake all the more enticing and delicious!
