Equipment

  • Bundt cake pan

Ingredients

Bundt Cake:

  • 1 (15.25 ounce) package lemon cake mix
  • 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant lemon pudding mix
  • ¾ cup orange juice
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract

Citrus glaze:

  • cup orange juice
  • cup sugar
  • ¼ cup butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray a 10-inch bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cake mix and lemon pudding mix until combined.
  • Whisk in orange juice, vegetable oil, eggs and lemon extract until well combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared bundt pan.
  • Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, remove from oven and let cool in pan for 10 minutes.
  • Invert cake onto a serving plate.
  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together orange juice, sugar and butter and bring to a boil.
  • Remove from heat and pour glaze over top of bundt cake.
  • Cut into slices and serve.

Notes

  • The clear glaze is a little hard to see and is more of a syrup-like texture.  After pouring the glaze on top, a lot of it will run down the sides and center of the Bundt cake before getting absorbed.
