Orange Juice Cake

This recipe was given to me by a very dear friend, Ginny, 

who has since died. I think of her every time I make this 

cake and I'm still thankful for her friendship and love 

and miss her words of wisdom and encouragement.

Ingredients

Orange Juice Cake

3/4 cup orange juice

1 package (3 ounces) orange Jell-O powder

4 eggs

1 box yellow cake mix

2 Tbsp grated orange rind (optional)

¾ C vegetable 0il

GLAZE

2 cups Powdered sugar

1/2 cup orange juice

1 tablespoon orange rind (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a bundt pan . (This can also be made in a regualr 9x13 pan). In large mixing bowl beat 3/4 cup orange juice, Jell-o-and eggs for 2 minutes. Beat in cake mix,- grated orange rind and oil for 1 minute. Pour into pan. Bake for 45 minutes.

Isn't this batter a pretty color ?

When done immediately prick holes in top with fork Make rows 1/2 inch apart.

Mix powdered sugar, orange juice and rind, pour over top of hot cake.

This is the first time I used a squeeze bottle to put it on the cake.

I was surprised -it works so much better that spooning.

I wish I cut this so you could see the beautiful orange color this cake is

 I think this cake tastes better after it has set for 24 hrs - however, you can let it sit for a few hrs.

It's packed and ready to go! I will be freezing it til Thanksgiving

If you are looking for something different please try this cake - I have also made it lemon using lemon jello and lemonade  - even can use lime and limeade

Tasty Tues
