Super Citrusy Quick Orange Cake

I have made this recipe several times now and everyone at my home just loves it! It also goes to prove that sometimes you can make stuff from readymade mixes which meets expectations. I am not the biggest fan of cake mixes but this recipe got me converted. It tastes great and is easy to make. I did make some changes to the original recipe. I use orange extract insteaf of lemon extract and add the zest of one orange. I also skip the glaze to make it slightly healthier.

✅ INGREDIENTS

1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 (3 ounce) package instant lemon/vanilla pudding mix
3/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 teaspoon orange extract
Zest from one Orange

✅ INSTRUCTIONS

1.) Grease a 10 inch Bundt pan. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

2.) In a large bowl, stir together cake mix and pudding mix. Make a well in the center and pour in 3/4 cup orange juice, oil, eggs and orange extract and zest. Beat on low speed until blended. Scrape bowl, and beat 4 minutes on medium speed.

3.) Pour batter into prepared pan.

4.) Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes.

5.) Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.

Being able to make a good Orange cake has been an aim for me for a while now and all my attempts would result in cakes which lacked the intense citrusy taste and flavor that I was always looking for. I experimented with several recipes including Orange chiffon cake and converting my regular sponge/vanilla cake to an orange cake but none of them were able to deliver on the taste I was looking for. The end result would taste faintly of oranges and nothing close to what I had in mind. Once again Allrecipes came to my rescue and I found this recipe for Orange cake.
