There are more stains on this recipe card than any others in my box. Handwritten in my 'Nonna Cecile's' writtin, it is covered with juice and butter stains.......
When we were little we didn't really care much about desserts that weren't gooey and chocolatey....except for orange cake. I started to make this cake for Easter in the past few years and my friends have all adopted this one into their repetoires.......it is moist, gooey and loaded with flavor. It is refreshing after a heavy meal....and worthy of holiday status.
1 box Duncan Hines yellow cake mix (I am sure that you can use any cake mix, but I always use DH since it says so on the recipe card.....)
1 box instant vanilla pudding
4 eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup water
Mix all together 2 minutes at medium speed. Pour into buttered large pyrex. Bake at 350 30-40 min.
Icing
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons melted butter
whip together until liquidy
poke holes all over hot cake and pour icing all over until it soaks in.
this cake is best served chilled.....maybe an orange slice or two on top....it is just perfect!
