Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup orange soda
  • 1 box (3 oz) orange gelatin powder
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp orange soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Orange zest, for garnish (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, beat the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, oil, 1 cup orange soda, and gelatin powder with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
  2. Pour the batter into a greased 10-cup bundt pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, 2 tbsp orange soda, vanilla, and salt. Beat until creamy and pourable, adjusting consistency with a little more soda or powdered sugar as needed.
  4. Once the cake is fully cool, drizzle the glaze over the top. Scatter orange zest on top while the glaze is still wet. Slice and serve.

Notes

Cool the cake completely before glazing, or the glaze will melt off. The glaze sets firm in about 20 minutes, so wait a bit before slicing if you want clean pieces.
