If the aroma from this cake baking doesn't get you, one forkful will surely have you hooked!

What You'll Need

1 (18.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
3 eggs
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons orange juice
Grated rind of 2 oranges
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 10-inch Bundt or tube pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, with an electric beater on medium speed, combine cake mix, butter, eggs, 1 cup orange juice, and orange rind. Beat 2 minutes, until well mixed. Pour batter into prepared Bundt or tube pan.
Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely before inverting onto a serving platter.
In a medium-sized bowl, with an electric beater on medium speed, beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice 2 to 3 minutes, until smooth. Spoon over top of cake, allowing it to drip down sides. Cover loosely and chill 3 hours before serving.

Question can I use dried orange zest in place of zest from oranges? Will the flavor be the same?

Hi there! While the Test Kitchen has not made this recipe using dried orange zest, we do believe that it is an okay substitution. Dried orange zest will not produce as strong of an orange flavor as fresh, however. Enjoy!

This is my FAVORITE cake!! But be aware.....it is addictive! I will also slice the bundt cake into pieces, flash freeze on wax paper, and then put into freezer bags. That way I can take one out, let it thaw a few minutes, or microwave a few seconds....or even eat it frozen! It really is "ooh so good!"

I know, it might be a silly question, but is the baking temp. the same as on the box or because of the added ingredients, a little higher or lower? Making it today for the first time. Smells yummilicious! :)
