Recipe #6 - Orange Juice Cake

When I was young I had an aunt who always made this fabulous cake with orange flavored frosting for birthdays. It was so yummy. So I was really excited when I found this recipe for:

Orange Juice Cake

Table of Contents:

1 yellow cake mix

1 pkg. instant vanilla pudding

1 tsp. orange extract

3/4 cup orange juice

1/2 cup oil

4 eggs

(There really are 4 eggs in that bowl!)

How To:

Mix all ingredients. Beat for 2 minutes. Baked in greased bundt pan for 50-60 minutes at 325 degrees. Cool on baking rack for 10 minutes and remove from pan. Allow to cool completely and top with orange juice glaze.

Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

1-2 Tbsp. orange juice

Mix and drizzle over cooled cake.

The Result:
This cake was pretty good, but lacked the intense orange flavor I was hoping for. It just tasted like a moist yellow cake and really didn't have much of an orange taste at all. I took it to my Mom's for Easter and we ate about 1/2 of it. The rest goes to work with Mark tomorrow. Would I make this again? Probably not!
