Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- All-purpose flour
- 1 (15.25-ounce) package yellow cake mix
- 1 (3.5-ounce) package lemon instant pudding mix
- 3/4 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- Orange Glaze (recipe follows)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon orange zest plus more for garnishing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 10-inch Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray and lightly dust with all-purpose flour.
- Stir the cake and pudding mixes in a large bowl. Add the orange juice, oil, eggs and zest; beat on low with a mixer at low speed to combine. Scrape down sides. Beat at medium for 4 minutes.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack 15 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Transfer to a platter and poke holes all over with a skewer. Pour warm Orange Glaze over the cake. Garnish with more orange zest for serving.
- For the Orange Glaze: Cook the sugar, orange juice, and butter in a saucepan over medium, stirring, until the butter is melted. Cook 2 more minutes and remove from the heat; stir in the orange zest.
- Tip: You can also make this in 2 (9-x-5-inch) loaf pans. Bake for the same amount of time.

This is so so so good. The perfect spring/ summer cake. I add a splash or two of bourbon to the glaze and it’s perfection!
YUM. YUM. YUM!
Cake was very moist and had a great flavor. I had some leftover and it stayed moist for several days. The glaze was very runny and did not adhere to the cake very well. It puddled on the cake plate. Next time I will try confectioners sugar and orange juice. This is a keeper and a crowd pleaser
Sorry, wasn’t a fan. If I were to try this again, I would make a different glaze. I really didn’t like the butter in the glaze; maybe it would have been better in the cake? None of my family would eat it – and it’s cake!
That Orange Country Cake is wonderful. It was a big hit with my guests. Thank you Martina. Enjoy your cooking show!
Fantastic recipe, turned out great on first try. I added a splash of Grand Marnier to glaze—delicious!! Love her show too.
Wonderful moist flavorful cake and it was such a pretty dessert display. No leftovers!
Very easy to make and a delicious cake. However, I had to double up oj to get more glaze to make cake more moist. I didn’t double sugar nor butter and it was still good!
So moist and delicious. My family devoured it!
Wonderful moist cake and so easy to make! Thanks Martina!
