Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 10- or 12-cup bundt pan.

Step 2

Make the cake: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, vegetable oil, orange juice, and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Pour the batter into the bundt pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 4

Make the glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and orange juice over low heat. Stir gently until the butter is melted and the sugar dissolves.

Step 5

Let the cake cool for 5-10 minutes, then poke holes all over the top of the cake with a sharp knife or skewer. Slowly pour the warm orange glaze over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes. Let the cake sit in the pan for an additional 15 minutes to absorb the glaze.

Step 6

Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate. If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar or brush warmed orange/apricot jam over the top for a shiny finish. Slice and enjoy the citrusy delight!
