Old Fashioned Orange Juice Cake is a moist and flavorful bundt cake made with orange juice and topped with a sweet citrus glaze—perfectly nostalgic and easy to make with a cake mix base.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tsp orange zest (optional)
  • For the glaze:
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, orange juice, oil, water, and orange zest. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
  3. Pour batter into prepared bundt pan and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  4. While cake is baking, make the glaze: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in sugar and orange juice, bring to a boil, and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
  5. When cake is done, remove from oven and immediately pour hot glaze evenly over the cake while it’s still in the pan.
  6. Let cake absorb glaze and cool in pan for 15-20 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.

Notes

  • For extra citrus flavor, add more orange zest to the batter or glaze.
  • This cake tastes even better the next day as the glaze soaks in.
  • You can dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving for a classic touch.
