1/2 cup(s) oil, i used canola
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1 - 3.4-oz box of lemon jello instant pudding mix
1/2 cup(s) water
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon(s) orange flavored triple sec
1/2 cup(s) walnuts, chopped, optional
ORANGE GLAZE
1 stick(s) butter

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 12-cup bundt pan or tube pan. I used Baker's Joy to prepare pan.
Mix all ingredients together on a medium low speed for 2 minutes.
If desired, sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped walnuts in bottom of prepared pan, pour batter in and bake for 35 to 38 minutes at 350 degrees. Begin testing at 30 minutes with a cake tester or toothpick. If it comes out clean, cake is done.
Remove cake from over; prick top with a fork. Drizzle 1/2 of the glaze on cake.
Allow cake to cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Turn onto a plate that won't allow the glaze to run off. Prick cake with a fork and drizzle remaining glaze over cake. Allow cake to cool completely and set for several hours before serving. The glaze will soak into the cake..yum! NOTE: I would allow cake to sit over night to soak up the glaze.
GLAZE: In a sauce pan bring all ingredients to a slow boil and boil for 6 minutes.
