My 12 year old daughter made this for our family. It was super easy to make and moist with a very fruity flavor. She commented however (and I agree) that you could definitely tell it was made from a mix; sort of had that artificial flavor taste. The glaze was yummy though; maybe we'll try it again with the vanilla pudding.

I was looking for a different kind of cake to make, and thought this sounded good. I made it for a co-worker's birthday, and now when it's time for a birthday cake at work, everyone wants the orange cake! I did use the butter cake mix and orange extract. It's wonderful!

This cake was out of this world, but I made some modifications. First, I subsutituted the vanilla pudding for the lemon, and the orange extract for the lemon as well. That made all the difference in the world. Also, we wanted a frosting for the cake rather than a glaze, so I made a fabulous, light frosting by mixing 1 container of cool whip, 1/2 pint of heavy whipping cream, 1-1/2 tablespoons of orange extract and a 3.4 oz. box of Jello-Instant Vanilla Pudding and whipped it with a hand mixer until thick with peaks, then spread it all over and let it chill in the fridge for a couple of hours. It was out of this world good and complemented the cake perfectly, since the cake is a little dense and the frosting is so creamy and light. All my dinner guests gave it 5 stars!!

Wonderful moist cake ! Just made with an orange cake mix , sugar free vanilla pudding and added some sugar free orange jello as well. I also added a tsp of orange jello powder and cornstarch to the icing. Orange cake is a treat , not your same old chocolate !

I made this cake for a birthday at work. As it has been 95 degrees outside we wanted something cool and refreshing. I made the cake using cheesecake sugar free jell-o pudding, added 1 tsp of orange extract, 1 tsp vanilla extract (going for an Orange Dreamsicle taste). I poured the batter into a 9x13" pan and turned it into a Jell-O poke cake. After it baked, I stirred a small pkg orange Jell-o into 1 cup boiling water, stirred to dissolve. Poke warm cake with large for randomly and spoon hot jell-o over it. Refrigerate until chilled and spread 1 8oz tub Cool Whip over the top. Very refreshing.

This is a great, refreshing cake!!! I took the advice of some of the other reviewers and used an orange cake mix, vanilla pudding, and orange zest. Then, for some unknown reason, I had it in my mind that the recipe called for 8 ounces of sour cream. After I dumped it into the batter I gasped!!! I figured I would just let it ride and see how it panned out!!! AWESOME!!! I think the sour cream made the cake denser than it would have turned out. I plan on making it with the sour cream every time now. Sometimes mix ups make for great discoveries,lol!I made glaze using powdered sugar and orange juice, but it truly didn't need it. A dollop of whipped topping is great!!

I followed this recipe exactly and was a little worried about the glaze being to thin, but this was a hit with everyone and disappeared very quickly at our bbq.

I made this for my daughter's 1st birthday on 25th of june and this cake made it a memorable day for all of my family members. This recipe truly makes a lovely dish for special occasions. my family members are already asking me when i am going to make it again :-) I did not add lemon extract. I used duncan hines orange cake mix instead of plain yellow one and also used vanilla pudding mix. i still went and added the 3/4 cup orange juice along with the orange cake mix and it did not turn out to be too much orangy. it's really a delicious recipe.

Everyone loves this! Didn't have lemon extract to add but still great. As per previous review-used a little easier, Powdered sugar- orange juice glaze. Recipe request started from the first bite!

I made this for my husbands Memorial Day cookout at work. He said it disappeared immediately after the first cut. I substituted the yellow cake mix for Duncan Hines Orange Mix, left out the lemon extract and changed the pudding to vanilla. Will definitely make again with my updates.

I made this cake for Easter Sunday. Not only was it easy to make but it was a wonderfully light desert. Many comments, and it freezes well. I will use this recipe again.
