LOVE this bundt cake - and so easy to make!! absolutely cannot find orange cake in our area, so i used vanilla cake mix + orange blossom liquid from williams-sonoma (1tsp) + orange zest from 2 large oranges - gives cake orange-fleck look, too. i added 8oz pkg of sour cream for a more dense, moist cake. icing is thin but remember, this is a 'glaze' not frosting like the gooey kind you see on birthday bundt cakes. use more powdered sugar, as others have suggested, and poke chopstick holes on the top of the cake to let the glaze ooze through the cake. top with sliced strawberries (fill the bundt hole, too) and lime zest for a pretty red-white-green mexican margarita cake! enjoy!

I was so hopeful for this cake. I wanted to make it for a party so I made one the day before and the the cake deflated in the pan. The flavor was okay. Thinking it was just a fluke, I made another cake the next day and again it deflated. I have never had this happen to me and I have made MANY bundt cakes, my favorite being the Irish Cream on this site. Maybe there is too much liquid in this recipe?

I can't tell you how often I am requested to bake this awesome cake. I've used this recipe over 7 yrs. Sometime I use pistachio pudding or lemon cake mix if orange is not handy. I aleays get rave reviews. M.McWhorter

Awesome cake, everyone enjoyed it. I used white cake mix instead of orange and doubled the glaze- then triple glazed the cake. Turned out excellent!

Replaced orange cake with lemon, lemon pudding for vanilla, and anywhere it said lemon juice used lime and came out with a wonderfully moist, delicious cake. Definitely a keeper!
