The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 4.5 star rating.
Reviewed: Jul. 10, 2008
I added a second box of pudding mix to the ingredients, as another reviewer suggested, and I added orange zest to the batter (about 1/2 large orange). The batter was VERY thick (climb-up-the-beaters THICK), so I added a couple tablespoons of OJ, and it was still very thick (wanted to add more OJ, but was afraid it wouldn't bake right). The cake took 50 minutes to bake. I added zest to the sauce also (the other half of the orange). 5 minutes after it came out of the oven, I used a bamboo skewer to poke holes in it. Left it in the pan and slowly poured the sauce over it. It's alot of liquid for the cake to absorb, and probably takes a good 1/2 hour or more for that to happen. Haven't tasted it yet, but it smells great! Will update later about the taste. IT'S VERY GOOD! Let cool overnight, and dusted with powdered sugar in the morning. Took some to work and everyone loves it! Definitely use the zest.

My first try with this recipe was unaltered from the recipe (other than using French Vanilla pudding instead of Vanilla), and it was a hit. I personally thought it was a little too sugary, but I was a minority. In fact, I was asked to make it again for a dinner, and I plan to try adding orange zest to the glaze and orange jello to the cake. Also, I had to bake my cake in a bundt pan for 40-45 minutes before the knife came out without batter on it, and poured the glaze on pretty much directly out of the oven.

This cake is very good:glaze is very moist and delicious. 5 stars: orange supreme cake mix, not yellow, and adding more sauce. I baked in a regular cake pan, not a bundt pan, and it took about 40 minutes. It is soooooooo good! The glaze is delicious! I don't even like cake, and I was in heaven with this!

I followed the others' instructions - added orange jello, and orange zest. This cake was fabulous! I had 4 teenagers and 3 adults eating, and it was a huge hit!

I'm not too impressed. It was yummy to an extent, but not orange-y enough. It just tasted like a simple yellow cake. The orange flavor was barley there.

Good flavor, but texture was not pleasant. The orange juice mixture didn't soak through the cake, only about half-way (and I let it sit for a long time!). So the bottom half of the cake was soggy and greasy from the butter.

I made this cake and it was an instant success. My co-workers gobbled it all up. Wonderful Cake! I made edits to this recipe. 1 Box of Duncan Hines Orange Supreme Cake Mix (instead of the yellow mix) 1 Box of Orange Jello mix along with 1 Box of the Vanilla Pudding mix Orange Zest added to cake mix. I also add the orange zest to the glaze. When still hot in the pan, I poke holes in the cake and pour the glaze over the cake. Let it sit for 15 minutes to absorb all of the mixture before flipping the cake. All the juice should be absorbed into the cake before flipped. I love this cake and will plan on making it again. It WAS TRULY A HIT!

I've been making this for years, I got the recipe from my aunt. I double the pudding and add orange zest to make it even more moist and add a bit more orange flavor. No matter where I take it, its gone in a flash. Good for breakfast too!!

I made this cake in the hope that it would be "orange" and it wasn't. I ended up with a moist cake that tasted like a yellow cake. I used fresh OJ too! I was a little disappointed.
