Scale
Main Cake:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon orange zest (optional)
For the glaze:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup orange juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-inch Bundt pan thoroughly.
- Mix the batter: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, orange juice, oil, and orange zest. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the Bundt pan and bake for 40–45 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
