Orange Glazed Bundt Cake



This moist, sweet cake has been one of our favorites for years, ever since Melanie shared the recipe with me when I got married.   It pairs wonderfully with fruit, and also makes a great trifle dish with layers of cubed cake, pudding, and colorful fruit.

Orange Glazed Bundt Cake
Submitted by Erin  ~  The Sisters Cafe

1 pkg yellow cake mix
1 small instant vanilla pudding
4 eggs
¾ c. oil
1 c. sour cream
¼ c. orange juice

Beat all ingredients until fluffy and light.  Pour into a well greased and floured bundt pan.  Bake at 350° for 45 minutes to an hour.  When toothpick comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs sticking to it, it is done.  *I make it a habit of checking cakes 5 to 10 minutes earlier than instructions direct.  I can't remember exactly if I took this out at 40 minutes, but I would at least check it and watch it closely near the end of cooking.

Glaze:
1 ½ c. powdered sugar
2+ Tb orange juice

Mix with a wire whisk until smooth and drizzle over cake.
