Description
A simple cake recipe featuring orange and vanilla cream flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) white cake mix
- 1 cup cold water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1/2 cup cold milk
- Orange food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, cold water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix on medium speed for two minutes.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, orange juice, and orange zest by hand. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
- Prepare the vanilla pudding according to package directions, using the cold milk. Let it set for five minutes.
- Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the set pudding. Add a few drops of orange food coloring if you want a more intense orange color.
- Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the cooled cake.
- Chill the cake for at least two hours before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a stronger orange flavor, use fresh orange juice instead of bottled.
- You can use a bundt pan, but adjust the baking time as needed.
