My family enjoyed this easy,tasty,moist cake. My only complaint was that it was more of a "citrus cake" rather than orange. I added orange zest to the batter but it still lacked the orange punch I was looking for. That said I would make it again & enjoy every piece. I would like to add my way of adding the glaze: After the cake has cooled I put the cake back into the cake pan & add the glaze to the bottom of the cake first. Glaze soaks into the bottom of the cake which traditionally never gets it. It soaks into the sides too. I then invert the cake onto a cake plate & glaze the top & sides. All the glaze gets used & doesn't run all over making for messy cleanup.

Delicious cake! Made this for a Labor Day party and everyone loved it. I didn't have lemon instant pudding mix, so I used vanilla instant pudding mix instead. I think next time I will use orange extract instead of the lemon for more of an orange flavor. Iam also going to try and make a glaze out of powdered sugar, orange juice and orange extract. The glaze in this recipe was more of a syrup that soaked into the cake instead of a glaze. Delicious none the less, but I will change a few things next time. This cake was moist and yummy!

I have one suggestion for all of those taht tried this and it tasted more like lemon than orange. My family has made this cake for years. However, we do not use lemon pudding we use vanilla. I don't understand why lemon would be used at all because it would alter the flavor. If you are looking for ORANGE flavor use vanilla pudding instead and you will be impressed.

This was a great base recipe, but I could tell from reading it that it wouldn't have the strong orange flavor I was looking for. First, I used a lemon cake mix instead of a yellow one to increase the citrus taste. Then I used orange extract instead of lemon. To really pump up the orange flavor, I added 3/4 of a packet of orange Kool-Ade unsweetened drink mix to the dry ingredients. I put the other 1/4 packet in the glaze. After the cake cooled, I put it back in the bundt pan and poked big holes in the bottom of the cake with a chopstick. Then I poured most of the glaze over the bottom of the cake and let it soak in for about 20 minutes. I then inverted the cake onto a cake plate and drizzled the remainder of the glaze over the top. This came out great; very orangey and saturated with glaze. Delicious.

Based on many of the reviews I read, I also thought the cake would taste too lemony. In order to avoid that, I substituted Orange Supreme cake mix, vanilla pudding mix, and used vanilla extract instead of lemon. It was awesome! I also made an icing made with powdered sugar, a little o.j., and a few drops of vanilla extract...the white icing looks really great on the orange cake.

This is really good! I also used vanilla pudding mix and an easier glaze with 2 cups p. sugar and 1/4 c. orange juice. Great orange flavor! Took 40 minutes to cook.

Great, easy cake! I thought it was more of a lemon cake than an orange cake though. I didn't use all the glaze, and it was just right. I think if you do use it all, it makes the cake wet. Thanks for the recipe!

Excellent cake. Rave reviews from family. I made this twice. The first time my SIL made the glaze and did not bring it to a complete boil. The glaze ran all over the place but still tasted good. The second time when I made the glaze I brought it to a complete boil and then drizzled it over the cake. This hardened the glaze somewhat, and it was excellent. You definitely should bring it to a full boil, though, just like you would when making candy. I will definitely make again. Thanks for sharing.

I have made this cake twice in the last week. It is so good! A suggestion for doing the glaze...first poke the cake randomly with a toothpick. Then place the cake on a wire rack and straddle the rack over a jelly roll pan. As the un-absorbed glaze drips off, you can then collect it and keep re-drizzling until it is all abrorbed.
