The famous orange cake that drives the whole world crazy melts in your mouth!

Ingredients (Serves 8–10)

1 box vanilla or yellow cake mix (about 15 oz / 425 g)

1 cup fresh orange juice

1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)

3 large eggs

1 tbsp orange zest (grated)

For the Glaze (optional but recommended):

1 cup powdered sugar

2–3 tbsp fresh orange juice

1/2 tsp orange zest

Instructions

Preheat Oven:

Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan (or a round bundt pan).

Mix Batter:

In a large bowl, combine cake mix, orange juice, oil, eggs, and orange zest.

Beat with a hand mixer (or whisk) until smooth (about 2–3 minutes).

Bake:

Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Bake for 25–30 minutes (rectangular pan) or 35–40 minutes (bundt), until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Prepare Glaze:

While cake cools slightly, whisk powdered sugar, orange juice, and zest until smooth.

Glaze & Serve:

Drizzle glaze over the warm cake.

Let it set for 10 minutes, slice, and enjoy!

Tips

Add a handful of chocolate chips or cranberries for a twist.

Swap glaze for a light cream cheese frosting if you like richer cakes.

Stays moist for 3 days when covered at room temperature.
