Orange Juice Cake

Orange Juice Cake

1 box of Betty Crocker Super Moist Yellow Cake Mix
1 Box (4 serving size) lemon instant pudding and pie filling mix
¾ cup of vegetable oil
¾ cup of water
4 eggs
2 cups of powdered sugar
2 TBLS butter melted (butter not margarine)
¾ cup of fresh-squeezed orange juice or you can use one that has plenty of pulp

Heat oven to 350*F degrees, Grease and Flour 12 cup fluted tube cake pan. In a large bowl beat cake mix, dry pudding mix, oil, water, eggs, with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds then on medium speed 2 minutes. Pour into a prepared pan.. Bake 38-42 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Next in a medium bowl mix powdered sugar, melted butter and orange juice, (I do this while my cake is baking) until sugar is completely dissolved. When cake is done, remove from oven and while cake is still in cake pan and HOT poke holes in cake with a skewer or fork, pour orange juice mixture over hot cake until all liquid is used, this make take several pours. Cool in pan for 15-20 minutes, then turn cake and pan upside down onto a serving platter or cake plate, remove pan. This is what I like to do while cake is still warm, cooling, I sprinkle with fresh grated orange peel. When cake is completely cool I like to sprinkle on powdered sugar(looks like snow and I also garnish with fresh orange slices). Very pretty and this is DELISH!  You can eat this for breakfast…Enjoy.
